Geocache Description:

Heidelberg lies in an attractive setting between the Langeberg mountains and the sea, on the banks of the Duivenhoks River.

Settlers arrived in the valley and in 1725 Andries Gous received a grant for the farm Doornboom (thorn tree). The area was part of the Riversdale district and on 14 September 1855, the Riversdale church council bought a portion of the farm Doornboom for £5000 on which to lay out a town. They named Heidelberg after that ancient city in Germany, the source of the Heidelberg Catechism and, like the new Heidelberg, built on the banks of a river.

A church and school became the twin centres of the new town. The first erven were sold on 21 November 1855 and in 1862 the first town management board was inaugurated under the chairmanship of Joseph Barry.

The beautiful Dutch Reform Church with its Gothic architecture is in the center of the town. It was built in 1914.
