It was formerly called Salisbury. The origins of this beautiful, sunlight dappled city situated on Zimbabwe’s central plateau can be traced to 1890 when it was founded as a fort by the Pioneer Column which was a mercenary force established by Cecil Rhodes. The fort was christened Salisbury after the third Marquis of Salisbury. The fort became a municipality in 1897 and a city in 1935; it reigned as the capital of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland from 1953 to 1963.]]> no@spam.com (Teresa Papageorgiou ) Tue, 02 Oct 2007 21:55:42 EDT http://www.notoiletpaper.com/articles/96/1/Harare---formerly-known-as-Salisbury-the-Capital-of-Zimbabwe/Page1.html
