Durbanville History

Durbanville has its own rich history. In 1825 a group of local farmers requested permission from Lord Charles Somerset (the district governor of that time) to build their own church. This was granted and the Dutch Reformed Church was inaugurated in 1826.

A small village grew, called Pampoenkraal – which today is known as Durbanville. In 1836 the residents petitioned the then Governor, Sir Benjamin D'Urban for permission to rename the Village “D'Urban”.

Permission was granted and the new name stuck until it was later renamed Durbanville to avoid it being confused with Durban Natal. A village management board was established in 1897 and a municipality was established in 1901 – making it one of the oldest in the Cape

Durbanville Geskiedenis

Durbanville het sy eie ryk geskiedenis. In 1825 het 'n groep plaaslike boere toestemming versoek van Lord Charles Somerset (die distrik goewerneur van daardie tyd) om hul eie kerk te bou. Dit is toegestaan ​​en die Nederlandse Gereformeerde Kerk is in 1826 ingewy. 'n Klein dorpie het gegroei wat destyds bekend gestaan het as Pampoenkraal en is vandag bekend as Durbanville. In 1836 het die inwoners ‘n versoek skrif aan die destydsegoewerneur, sir Benjamin D'Urbangegee en het vir toestemming gevra om die naam van die oord na "D'Urban" te verander.

Toestemming was gegee en die nuwenaam was vas tot dat dit later na Durbanville toe verander het om te verhoed dat dit verwar word met Durban Natal. 'n Dorp bestuurspan is in 1897 gestig en toe later 'n munisipaliteit in 1901 - wat dit een van die oudstes in die Kaap maak.
