George Municipality
Welcome to GEORGE online.

The official site for the city of George, South Africa

George, the city with the heartbeat of a town and the charm of the countryside, forms the administrative hub of the world-renowned Garden Route area. George is nestled below the magnificent Outeniqua Mountains. It is known as the administrative capital of the Southern Cape. The wide expanse of forests, the blend of mountains, rivers and rich farmlands in close proximity to the sweeping coastline of the Indian Ocean and its glorious beaches make George a unique Southern Cape Town.

George enjoys a mild climate and the average annual rainfall of 850 mm is spread throughout the year. The second drostdy to be established, in 1811, after the British occupation of the Cape, George was named after King George III of England. In 1837 George gained municipal status and by 1907 was linked by rail to Cape Town. Now an excellent system of highways and national roads link George to Cape Town, 420 km away, and Port Elizabeth - a mere 320 km to the east.
