About Windhoek

Windhoek is the capital and largest metropolis of the Republic of Namibia. It is positioned in vital Namibia inside the Khomas Highland plateau region, at round 1,700 metres above sea level, almost exactly on the us of a's geographical centre. The population of Windhoek in 2011 changed into 325,858, developing constantly due to an influx from all over Namibia. Theories vary on how the area got its present day name of Windhoek. Most trust it is derived from the Afrikaans phrase wind-hoek. Another theory shows that Captain Jonker Afrikaner named Windhoek after the Winterhoek Mountains at Tulbagh in South Africa,

where his ancestors had lived. The first acknowledged point out of the name Windhoek changed into in a letter from Jonker Afrikaner to Joseph Tindall, dated 12 August 1844. In 1840 Jonker Afrikaner installed an Orlam agreement at Windhoek. He and his fans stayed near one of the foremost warm springs, located within the present-day Klein Windhoek suburb. He constructed a stone church that held 500 humans; it was also used as a college.
