Humansdorp, Eastern Cape

Humansdorp, Eastern Cape

Humansdorp is a small town and surrounding district in the Eastern Cape of South Africa, with a population of around 35,000 (COEGA,2002-3). The town is the centre of the district's light industry and farming. Humansdorp was founded in 1849, and was named after Johannes Jurie Human and Matthys Gerhardus Human, who were joint founders of the Dutch Reformed Church congregation there. The town is noted for the fine trees lining many of the residential streets; these were planted before the First World War by the then mayor, Ambrose Saffery.
