History of Bellville

Buying property in Bellville means you are buying real estate in one of the oldest and historical cities in South Africa.

Originally called "12 Mile Post" since it is located 12 miles (20 kilometres) from the Cape Town city centre, it was originally founded as a railway station on the line from Cape Town to Stellenbosch and Strand. In 1861 it was renamed Bellville, after the surveyor general Charles Bell.
