About Keetmanshoop

Keetmanshoop is a town inside the Karas Region of southern Namibia, mendacity at the Trans-Namib Railway from Windhoek to Upington in South Africa. It is named after Johann Keetman, a German industrialist and benefactor of the city. Before the colonial generation, the settlement becomes called Nugoaes or Swartmodder, each of which suggest "Black Marsh" and indicated the presence of a spring inside the region. The first white settler, Guilliam Visagie, arrived right here in 1785. When in February 1850 the Kharoǃoan extended family break up from the Red Nation, the primary subtribe of the Nama humans, they settled completely right here. In 1860 the Rhenish Missionary Society founded a undertaking there to christianise the neighborhood Nama.

The first missionary, Johann Georg Schröder, arrived in Keetmanshoop on April 14, 1866, which is now marked because the founding date of Keetmanshoop. The project station becomes named after the German dealer and director of the Rhenish Missionary Society Johann Keetman who supported the challenge financially. He in no way clearly visited the location himself.
