Napier Village Church History 1838
Did you know Napier was born from a neighbourly feud?
Back in 1838, Michiel van Breda and Pieter Voltelyn van der Byl couldn’t agree on where to build the village church. Instead of compromising, each built their own church: van Breda on his farm Langefontein, and van der Byl on Klipdrift. The result? Two villages sprang up: Bredasdorp around van Breda’s church, and Napier around van der Byl’s.
Talk about turning a disagreement into history!
