About Parow

Parow is a northern suburb of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa founded with the aid of the use of Johann Heinrich Ferdinand Parow who arrived to the locality in 1865. During a great typhoon in Table Bay in 1865, 19 ships were stranded. Amongst the various schooners turn out to be the Kehrwieder, the supply of Captain Johann Heinrich Ferdinand Parow. After being stranded, Captain Parow settled down inside the Cape of Good Hope and married Johanna Wilhelmina Timmerman, the daughter of the own family that helped Captain Parow after being stranded at the Cape coast.

Parow short realised the potential fee of the Tyger Valley vicinity north of Cape Town and that the vicinity held fantastic opportunities for cattle exchange. Captain Parow quickly moved inland to this area and started out promoting ground in the vicinity that's nowadays referred to as Parow, which built up a outstanding deal of wealth for the Captain. Parow died on four December 1910, in his house in Cassibelle, Maitland. His wife, JW Timmerman, died ten years prior. They did not have any youngsters. Captain Parow's telescope is within the Town Hall of Parow.
