Why is Cape of Good Hope so significant when it is not the most southerly point on the tip of South Africa?
because it is so great that it can kill you It's just the southern tip of the cape peninsula. A lot of people think it's the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, which is actually also Cape Agulhas (southernmost point). Cape of Good Hope used to be the Cape of Storms. It's the place also generally where ships going around the country like from Europe to the east would start turning eastward (rounding the cape). The name comes from having good hope of reaching the east. It's the most southwest point of the country. Has great scenery. One can imagine a ship sailing down the west side of Africa. It is a long, weary, gruelling journey. The crew are despondent. One moans that it sure is a long journey. Then, the Cape of Good Hope is sighted. To them, it's like a light beacon of hope of reaching the east. Their faces light up, they cheer. That one says that now they really are on their way to the east. The Captain asks who'd like to do the honours, to start turning the ship eastward.

Why was a town established in cape town?
The first European settlers in South Africa (and in Cape Town) arrived in 1652 and were representatives of the Dutch East India company whose task it was to set up a victualling station for the ships of the company to take on fresh supplies on the long journey round the Cape of Good Hope to the spice and silk Routes of the East. From this Dutch garrison eventually arose town; then a city that became known as Cape Town.
