-------------------------------
Norton is a town in the province of Mashonaland West, Zimbabwe. It is located about 40 km east of Harare on the main road and railway line connecting Harare and Bulawayo. According to the 1982 Population Census, the town had a population of 12,360. The settlement began in 1914 when a railway siding was built. The town was named after the Norton family who were farming in the area since the 1890s and were killed in the First Chimurenga. The town grew as a industrial centre in a rich agricultural area. It has a large pulp and paper mill and a brewery. The crops grown in the surrounding farm lands include tobacco, maize and wheat. Beef and dairy farming also takes place.
