Hermanus

Originally named Hermanuspietersfontein, the town’s name was shortened in 1902 to Hermanus to streamline postal services. A pivotal moment in the town’s history came when its founders decided against laying a railway line, a decision that ensured Hermanus would retain its charm as a small fishing village rather than becoming a major commercial hub. This unique heritage is still reflected in its peaceful ambiance and its title as "the village." The town’s history is further showcased in the Old Harbour Museum, which details the local whaling industry, and the De Wetshuis Photo Museum.
