From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the Town Napier in South Africa. For other meanings, see Napier

Napier, a small town situated in the Overberg(South Africa), was established in 1838 through a dispute between two neighbours, Michiel van Breda & Pieter Voltelyn van der Byl, over the location of the community church. This resulted in the creation of two churches in two separate towns, Napier, and Bredasdorp. The name Napier was chosen from the then Governor of the Cape, Sir George Thomas Napier.

Napier is known among many visitors and locals as "The village with the old world charm".
