Bredasdorp
Thursday, 25 April 2002

Bredasdorp was established in 1828 as a Dutch Reformed centre on the Langefontein farm. It was named after a local farmer who promoted the project, Michiel van Breda.

Van Breda and another leading personality, Pieter Voltelyn van der Byl, could not agree where the church should be built. As a result two churches were built, and two towns, Napier and Bredasdorp developed.

Van Breda was the first mayor of Cape Town and also a member of the Cape Legislative Assembly. Bredasdorp is the hub of a dairy, wool and wheat farming region.
