The town is the centre of the district's light industry and farming. Humansdorp was founded in 1849, and was named after Johannes Jurie Human and Matthys Gerhardus Human, who were joint founders of the Dutch Reformed Church congregation there.[2] The town's residential streets are lined with trees that were planted before the First World War by then-mayor Ambrose Saffery.
