How Windhoek got it’s name - In about 1840, Windhoek became
the headquarters of the Nama-Oorlam Group, under Jonker Afrikaner,
in central Namibia.
The name, Windhoek, dates back to 1844, when it was used in a letter
written by Jonker Afrikaner, it is thought that in a moment of nostalgia,
he named the place, Winterhoek after the farm in the Cape, where
he was born. German colonial administration was established in 1890
when Major Curt von Francois, established a military post in Windhoek.
During this administration, the town was known as Windhuk, which
later became
Windhoek. |
