Ebenhaezer and Papendorp are two fishing hamlets situated on the Olifants River. One of the oldest towns in the district, Ebenhaezer was founded by the Rhenish Missionary Society as a mission station in 1834. It was originally the site of a Khoi kraal.
When James Backhouse visited Ebenhaezer in March 1840 he wrote that several people were living in huts built of reeds and mud, and that residents were building a windmill on a low hill outside the town. Today these old clay buildings and riethuise add to the town’s unique charm.
The town’s residents and farmers benefit from the Olifants River Irriga?on Scheme, and make a living farming ca?le and sheep, and grow cash crops like lucerne, beans and coriander.
