Durbanville, originally known as Pampoenkraal, developed around a natural spring that provided fresh water throughout the year. In the late 18th century, major travel routes passed by this fountain, making it a key location for travelers and settlers. Unlike other areas, no farmland was allocated around the spring for the first 40 years of settlement at the Cape, as it was reserved for public use. (Michael Van Niekerk)

Lankhoff ( Johann George) ; sailor in the service, and married to Judith Maria Nel; asks for a plot of ground to the East of the “ Tigerbergen,” at the so-called “ Pampoene Kraal ” — 1 morgen and 65 sq. rds. in area — on which to carry on his trade as tailor, and thus properly support his wife and family. But as some owners of neighbouring farms have raised objections to the grant, he prays that it may be made with the condition that, before putting any building on it, it shall be properly enclosed with a wall or high embankment, and that neither he, nor future owners, shall carry on any tap business there, in order thus to prevent that the owners of neighbouring farms and agriculturists, who have always used the spot as a pasture and outspan place for their cattle, may not have just reason to complain of him. (Signed by his wife.) (No. 103.)  (https://archive.org/stream/precisofarchives02leib/precisofarchives02leib_djvu.txt)
