About Opuwo

Opuwo is the capital of the Kunene Region in north-western Namibia. The town is located about 720 km north-northwest from the capital Windhoek, and has a population of c. 7,500. The call Opuwo turned into given by means of the commissioner of Ondangwa, Mr. Hugo Hahn, who came on the lookout for land to build an workplace. Upon his arrival, he requested neighborhood headmen to offer him land in which he could build an workplace. The headmen gave him a small plot, and when the headmen attempted to provide him extra land, Mr. Hahn responded pronouncing "Opuwo. I don’t need any extra land".

That is how Opuwo were given its call. The neighborhood citizens of Opuwo known as it Otjihinamaparero on the time, and some still name it that. Hugo Hahn known as the land “Ohopoho Otjitopora” because of this "they see the bore hollow and their water comes out". The call Otjihinamaparero changed into modified to Opuwo in 1974 because of orthographic reform.The first workplace to be set up inside the Kaokoland location was the colonial administrator in Swartbooisdrift on the banks of the Kunene River.
