This section will provide you with interesting information on Durbanville’s historical background, giving you a retrospective sense of the area that you are buying into.

The original Pampoenkraal outspan was a meeting place for local farmers coming from the inland via Roodezand to Cape Town.  In 1825, a group of Tygerberg farmers requested permission from Lord Charles Somerset to build their own church.  The Dutch Reformed Church was commended and inaugurated a year later.  A small village grew up between the Church and the outspan and was named Pampoenkraal.  The inhabitants changed the name of the town to Village D’Urban after a petition in 1826.  To prevent confusion with Durban in KwaZulu Natal, the town ultimately changed its name to Durbanville in 1886.
