Background

The evolution of Plumtree Town Council can be traced back from 1897 where it started operating as a railway station.

That was the period when the railway line to Bulawayo was being constructed. Like the three other railway stations between Plumtree and Bulawayo, a tree was chosen for the name of the place.

Plumtree Town mushroomed as a semi-permanent outpost of early white settlers developing into alternative rail route of supplies between South Africa, Botswana, and Bulawayo.
