Pomeroy (renamed Solomon Linda in 2022)[1] is a small town on the R33 road in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, some 72 kilometers north of Greytown and 56 kilometers south-south-east of Dundee. The town was named for the noble Sir George Pomeroy Colley, who led the ill-fated British force during the Battle of Majuba Hill in 1881.[2]
The town was established initially as the Gordon Memorial Mission in 1867 in memory of James Henry Hamilton-Gordon, the son of George Hamilton-Gordon, 5th Earl of Aberdeen. The mission worked with the Zulus.
In 2022, the South African Geographical Names Council decided to rename the town in honour of Solomon Linda, a musical artist who was born in the town.[3]
