Quick Facts about Windhoek, Namibia

In This Video Windhoek, a town, and capital of Namibia, is located roughly in the centre of the country. It lies at an elevation of 1,654 metres (5,428 feet) and is about 650 km (400 miles) north of the Orange River and 1,225 km (760 miles) north of Cape Town, South Africa. The town is surrounded by a dry, arid country, but a circular chain of hills protects it from excessive dry winds. Before European settlement began, the town was known as Aigams, meaning “hot water,” the hot springs in the region. The area was initially settled by Khoekhoe and Herero peoples. In 1890, the site of the present town was claimed by the German government. In 1915 South African forces occupied Windhoek and initiated their claim for the country, then known as South West Africa. When Namibia became independent in 1990, Windhoek transformed from a territorial capital into a national capital.
