Port Elizabeth EASTERN CAPE - SOUTH AFRICA

ACCOMMODATION

DISTANCES

The first farmers arrived in the bay area in 1776. In 1799, the British erected Fort Frederick to protect the ship landing area in the bay, during the first British occupation of the Cape Colony. The British settlers arrived in 1820, giving momentum to the development in the area. Sir Rufane Donkin, acting governor of the Cape, instructed the settlers to develop a harbour and town, to be named Port Elizabeth, after his wife Elizabeth, who died in India in 1818. The town received municipal status in 1861 and became a city in 1913.
