With a name like that there must be a history, a reason, and the odd story too, so it should come as no surprise that Houtkapperspoort is what the area was in fact once called.
Way back in time, these parts were the heart of the wood supply for the Cape settlement with a voracious appetite for timber. Bands of woodcutters and their slaves hacked away at melkbos, wild olive and yellowwood for the Castle in the central city, as well as for ships that passed by the Cape, and numerous other end-users.
