Cradock 1818- ERROR !
Cape (post 1994 Eastern Cape)
//www.geni.com/images/transparent.gif
The town was founded on 27 August 1818 when a Dutch Reformed church (based on that of St Martin-in-the-Fields in London) was built; it is named after John Cradock, 1st Baron Howden, governor of the Cape from 1811 to 1813.

In 1813, the British government established a military post at the confluence of the Great Fish River and the Cradock spruit. The post was named Fort Cradock after Sir John Cradock, the Governor of the Cape Colony at the time. The fort was intended to protect the frontier from Xhosa attacks and to provide a base for British expansion into the interior.

The town of Cradock grew up around the fort and was officially founded in 1815. The town was initially used as a staging post for British troops and settlers moving into the interior. However, it soon became a thriving agricultural centre, thanks to its fertile soil and abundant water supply.
