Colony of Natal ended in 1910.

Labourers moved from India to the British colony Natal (now the province KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa) in the 1860s to work on the colony's sugar plantations. They came as indentured workers. After serving their indentures, they were free to return to India, but most opted to stay in Natal.

The Union of South Africa, came into being on May 31,1910. It was created when the British Colonies Cape Colony, the Natal Colony, the Transvaal Colony and the Orange River Colony merged into one.
