Geocache Description:



 

On October 26, 1897, a meeting took place of the now-vanished Town Council of Woodstock, 
in due course to be merged into that of Greater Cape Town. 

Before it, awaiting attention, lay a communication from a company, Milnerton Estates Limited,
"notifying the purchase of the properties known as Paarden Island and Jan Biesjes Kraal respectively". The
letter also informed them that it was intended "to layout the estate as a township, to be known as Milnerton
and also to open up railway communications from Cape Town to the centre of the property. . ."
Dominating the news of the day was the arrival in Cape Colony of the new High Commissioner for South
Africa, Sir Alfred Milner (afterwards Lord Milner), for which reason, the promoters of the new venture decided
to embody his name in that of their new enterprise.
