Durotar was founded after the third war by Thrall, and he made this this Orcish and Horde homeland, more than likely due to its slight resemblance to Draenor before it was torn apart.
Also, Durotar is a play on the name Durotan, which is Thrall's father, and who the land was named after.

Mining in durotar is great for the people who enjoy copper monopolies. The best place to mine here is around the Lightning Beast canyons. You can make a continuous loop around the canyon and through the canyon getting mines, usually they reappear by the time you come back around. The respawn on the mines are great, and you can easily level up your mining quickly as well as gather lots of resources if you are also a blacksmith.
Note for Loremaster of Kalimdor folk: Rezlak provides his quests for Alliance, as well.
