The town is 61 km north of Mthatha and was founded in 1876. Lower Kroza & Mvumelwana are the biggest rural areas in Qumbu 5180. The name is of isiXhosa origin, derived from amazimba aqumbu, ‘the corn has budded’, or ‘the corn is swollen’, referring to a tribal war which occurred at that time of the year. It is also known by its tribal fights during the 19th century, where King Mhlontlo of the AmaMpondomise was accused of killing the then Missioner Mr Hamilton Hope who helps in the foundation of the town Magistrate court. Mhlontlo was later arrested in King Williams Town.
