Cape Horn was named by the first European to sail around it, a Dutch man, and he named it after his home town of Hoorn.

Cape Town was first discovered by European explorers in the 15th century, with Portuguese navigator Bartolomeu Dias being the first to sail around the Cape of Good Hope in 1488. However, it was not until 1652 that the Dutch established a supply station there, marking the beginning of its permanent settlement. The area had been inhabited by indigenous Khoisan peoples long before European arrival.
Gil Eanes was the first person to sail beyond Cape Bojador.
