Whilst the area surrounding present Cape Town was occupied for millennia before the first European settlers; the present city of Cape Town traces its origins to the original Dutch settlers who established a provisioning post for the Dutch East India Company in Cape Town in 1652.

Jan van Riebeeck and his men arrived in South African on 6 April 1652 which is when the first modern European settlements would have been built.
