About Karibib

Karibib is a town in the Erongo Region of western Namibia. It has 3,800 population and owns 97 rectangular kilometres of town land. Karibib is the district capital of the Karibib electoral constituency. It is located at the Khan River, midway among Windhoek and Swakopmund on the B2 the primary avenue between the Walvis Bay and Johannesburg. The town is thought for its aragonite marble quarries and the Navachab Gold Mine. Karibib changed into a waterhole acknowledged to the Herero beneath the name Otjandjomboimwe. Expecting enterprise opportunities bobbing up from the railway production paintings among Swakopmund and Windhoek, Eduard Hälbich, merchant at Otjimbingwe, sold the waterhole and 20,000 hectares of land surrounding it from Herero headman Zacharias Zeraua.

The deal turned into finalised on 7 January 1895, the purchase rate became 22,500 marks ox wagons, and 742 kilos five shillings that Zeraua had incurred in debts in Hälbich's store in Otjimbingwe. Halbich then opened a department at Karibib in 1897 or 1898. In 1900, the agreement had a population of 10 and an unknown quantity of Blacks that were no longer counted. Karibib started to develop quick when on 30 May 1900 the railway construction reached the newly based area. 1
