Stellenbosch is a town
in the Western Cape province of South Africa, situated about 50 kilometres
(31 mi) east of Cape Town, along the banks of the Eerste River. It is the
second oldest European settlement in the province, after Cape Town. The town
became known as the City of Oaks or Eikestad in Afrikaans and Dutch due
to the large number of oak trees that were planted by its founder, Simon van
der Stel, to grace the streets and homesteads. Sources
