The coal mining town of Dundee is situated in a valley of the Biggarsberg mountains in . It is part of the Endumeni Local Municipality, Umzinyathi District. It is rich in coal deposits. More populous than the town of Dundee itself is its adjacent township named Sibongile.

Dundee was formed in 1882 after a discovery of the availability of coal closest to the surface by the Boers (Famers). It is named after the hometown of a pioneering Scottish settler, Peter Smith. At first, Dundee was a farm (Talana farm), a personal property to Peter Smith, which he had brought from a Voortrekker settler, Mr Dekker. Three other men are credited with the founding of Dundee; his son William Craighead Smith, son in- law Dugald McPhail, and close family friend Charles Willson.

The town lies nestled in a valley in the picturesque Biggarsberg- the heart of Northern KwaZulu- Natal, and is surrounded by historical remarkable mountains of “Indumeni” (where the thunder rolls), “Mpati” (The place of good waters), and “Talana” (The shelf where precious items are kept). Dundee has trails and evidence (lifestyle and rock paintings in caves and shelters) that the San people once lived in this area about 4 000 – 5 000 year ago.
