Yes, the town of Graaff-Reinet is linked with the Dutch-speaking settlers of South Africa.

Specifically, the town is considered the fourth oldest of South Africa's towns (after Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Swellendam). Its name traces back to 1786. It honors Cornelis Jacob van de Graeff (November 30, 1734 - April 21, 1812) and his wife Hester Cornelia Reinet.
