Carmel (Stellenbosch)

In 1721 the farm Langverwacht was allocated to Jean le Roux, a Huguenot settler. After a post office was opened on the site during the latter half of 1905, it was realised that its name coincided with that of Langverwacht,in the division of Oudtshoorn, and its name was changed to Carmel in November 1905.
