Immigration[edit | edit source]
- In the 17th century, the southernmost point of Africa where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet became a desirable half-way haven for the Dutch East India Company which was trading with India. By order of that company in 1652, Jan van Riebeeck arrived with a few other Dutch settlers at the Cape of Good Hope to establish this half-way station so that fresh vegetables and fruits could be provided to prevent scurvy among the Company’s sailors. Emigrants from Holland were then encouraged to settle and colonize, but they were soon joined by settlers from other countries, as the following list shows:
- 1657-1675: 49 settlers, comprising 34 Dutch, 7 German, 3 Swedes and others.
- 1675-1700: 152 settlers, comprising 57 Dutch, 38 German, 51 French [Huguenots) and others
- 1700-1725: 261 settlers, comprising 122 Dutch, 102 German, 22 French and others
- 1725-1750: 273 settlers, comprising 78 Dutch, 180 German, Scandinavians, and others
- 1750-1775: 399 settlers, comprising 88 Dutch, 267 German, Scandinavians, and others
- 1775-1795: 392 settlers, comprising 115 Dutch, 212 German, Scandinavians, and others
- From 1795 onwards there were a few British residents at the Cape, many of whom were military personnel.
- Starting in 1814, when Britain gained formal possession of the Cape, British immigration increased. The economic crisis in Britain following the Napoleonic wars made emigration with promise of land and opportunity very attractive.
