A brief history of the area
Saldanha's history is strongly associated with early European exploration and the development of Table Bay which is known today as Cape Town. It was named after António de Saldanha, the Portuguese captain of a ship which visited the Cape in 1503. The Bay has a good natural deep harbour which is well sheltered from storms, but early attempts to develop the harbour were aborted due to the inhospitable and unproductive land and lack of fresh water.
For a long time, Saldanha was of interest only to whalers and fishermen. Modern-day Saldanha was founded on a lucrative fishing industry, and more recently developed further around the iron ore brought here via the 800km-long Sishen-Saldanha railway line.
