Omaruru is a town and constituency inside the Erongo Region of Namibia. The city has 14,000 population and owns 352 rectangular kilometres of land. The metropolis is located near Mount Erongo, at the usually dry Omaruru River. It is positioned on the primary paved street from Swakopmund to Otjiwarongo. The name in the nearby Otjiherero language approach 'bitter milk', because the farm animals used to browse on a local bush that became their milk bitter. Omaruru turned into mounted in 1863 by Wilhelm Zeraua, the first chief of the White Flag extended family of the OvaHerero people. In 1871, Anders Ohlsson and Axel Eriksson established a brewery at Omaruru.

Eriksson's commercial enterprise changed into based upon long-distance trading among southern Angola and Cape Colony, which necessitated the established order of nearby alternate routes. The city grew around a project built in 1872 by means of Gottlieb Viehe, now a museum, and turned into attacked in 1904 throughout the Herero Wars.
