Napier (D 17)

Name: Napier

Napier, a small town situated in the Overberg (South Africa), was established in 1838 through a dispute between two neighbours, Michiel van Breda & Pieter Voltelyn van der Byl, over the location of the community church. This resulted in the creation of two churches in two separate towns, Napier, and Bredasdorp. The name Napier was chosen from the then Governor of the Cape, Sir George Thomas Napier.
