The Victoria Falls town is located in Matabeleland North Province on the

Zimbabwean side is popular mainly because the host town is named after the falls

the falls that is Livingstone. These falls are regarded as the largest curtain of falling
water in the world [Zimbabwe tourism.net].The falls are twice as high as Niagara
falls. Its spray water is visible from up to 70 km [43 miles] away.
HISTORY OF THE VICTORIA FALLS
They were discovered by David Livingstone in 1855.Some sources argue that
Livingstone didn't discover the falls but he was the first European to publish the
falls to the rest of the world, the issue is of great debate however, it’s not our
focus. The people who are then given credit for discovering the falls are the Tonga
people, who lived and are still living along the Zambezi River .The Tonga had
already named the falls 'Mosia oa tunya' meaning the smoke that thunders and the
name has received a fair share of international publicity .The Victoria falls town
began to attract attention from as early as 1901 as according to Wikipedia. The
attraction was spear heeded by the proposal to use the water for hydroelectricity
purposes .A railway was constructed linking the falls and Bulawayo. In 1905
a bridge was constructed linking Zimbabwe and Zambia for more on the history

There is plenty of lovely history about the falls found on the Vatonga museum.
