History

Mount Darwin is the probable site of some of the earliest European missionary work in southern Africa, by the Portuguese Jesuit Gonçalo da Silveira, who arrived in 1560 and was killed in March 1561 near Mount Darwin following a souring of relations with the local chief.[citation needed] Mount Darwin was named by the hunter and explorer Frederick Courtney Selous after the British naturalist Charles Darwin.
