Natalia Republic

The Natalia Republic was a short-lived Boer republic, established in 1839 by Voortrekkers shortly after the Battle of Blood River. The republic was located on the coast of Southern Africa. The area was bought from the Zulu king by Piet Retief and his party in 1838 and stretched from the Tugela River to present day Port St. Johns. It was previously named Natália by Portuguese sailors. The republic was annexed by Britain in 1843. After the British annexation of the Natalia Republic, most local Voortrekkers trekked north into Transorangia, later known as the Orange Free State, and the Transvaal.
