Comments [ leave a comment ]

“Hermanus was first named Hermanuspietersfontein derived from Hermanus Pieters, a sheep farmer of Dutch descent, who farmed at a freshwater spring where the town is now sited. The town was founded in 1855 and the name was shortened in 1904 after it was declared a municipality. ” - Chris Smit, 2012/07/08
