History
The city for a long time was called Goedgegun , but after gaining independence by Swaziland in 1968 it changed its name.
In 1947, King of Great Britain George I and the future king of Swaziland Sobuz II (at that time the leader of the Swazi people) met in Nhlangano to discuss the independence of Swaziland, but the meeting did not lead to anything.
In 1968, after determining the borders with the Republic of South Africa, the city became part of the independent Swaziland .
