Stellenbosch

Nestled along the banks of the Eerste Rivier the city of Stellenbosch is located in the Western Cape Province, at a distance of 50 kilometers from the Cape Town in South Africa. After Cape Town, Stellenbosch is the second oldest place where Europeans first settled. The town is also called City of Oaks or Eikestad by the early settlers due to the huge number of oaks tress which were planted the founders of the city. Simon van der Stel founded the city in 1679 and named it after himself. In 1682 it gained independent authority and in 1685 it became the seat of magistrate.  With the arrival of the early French settlers the city grew to become one of the main centers of the South African Wine Industry.
In 2001 the total population of the Stellenbosch city was 117,713. The town is situated in the hills of the Cape Winelands at an altitude of 100m.
Mostly Mediterranean climate is found in the city. The summers are usually hot and dry with temperature going up to 30 degree C. winters are at times windy, rainy and cool.
