Humansdorp
Geography and History
Humansdorp is situated in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa and has grown from a small service centre for the flourishing farming area in 1849, to a busy town with every kind of business. Humansdorp is the entrance town to the Kromme River estuary and the resorts of St Francis Bay and Cape St Francis. It is the first economic centre on the route between Port Elizabeth and Cape Town.
Humansdorp lies at the foot of the Kouga Mountains and it is here that the well known Garden Route starts. It is 87 km West of Port Elizabeth, 3 km off the N2 highway, 16 km from Jeffreys Bay, 20 km from St Francis Bay and 26 km from Cape St Francis.
