 ------------------------------- Chipinge (formerly known as Chipinga) is a town in southeastern Zimbabwe in the province of Manicaland near the Mozambique border. The town lies in a valley in the southern Eastern Highlands. One of Zimbabwe's most famous landmarks, the Birchenough Bridge is located on the Sabi River 62 km from Chipinge. The hot climate and high rainfalls (1 105mm ave annual rainfall) is well suited to agriculture and the local farmers grow tea, coffee and macadamia nuts. The surrounding mountain slopes are covered with pine and wattle plantaions. According to the 1982 Population Census, the town has a population of 6,077. A white settlement began here with the arrival of Thomas Moodie's trek in 1893 and was called South Melsetter (Melsetter being his family home in Scottland). In 1903 a police outpost was built here and by 1909 a school was built. The settlement was renamed Chipinga after a local chief in 1907 and in 1946 Chipinga got town status. Dairy farming was established early in the 1900s and by 1931 there was 2 cheese factories in operation. In 1945 a third cheese factory was open in the town but the same year saw the 3 factories been amalgamated into one and production continued until 1976. Tea was introduced in 1924 while coffee was introduced on a small scale but was not successful until 1950 when a coffee experiment farm was established. The ZANU - Ndonga political leader Ndabaningi Sithole was from Chipinge, and was elected to represent it in parliament in 1995 and 2000. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
