The area colonized by Dutch farmers, known as Boers, primarily refers to the region of the Cape of Good Hope in present-day South Africa. The Boers were descendants of Dutch settlers who arrived in the 17th century and later expanded into the interior of southern Africa, leading to the establishment of Boer republics like the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. Their migration and settlement patterns were significant in shaping the region's demographics and history.
The Boers originated in South Africa, primarily descending from Dutch settlers who arrived in the Cape Colony during the 17th century. Over time, these settlers, known as Afrikaners, developed their own distinct cultural identity and language, Afrikaans.
