STUTTERHEIM
INTRODUCTION
Stutterheim
is situated at the foot of the eastern slopes of the Kologha mountains, a
spur of the Amatola range, in the area of the East Cape Province which the
British named "British Kaffraria". Blessed
by the abundant natural beauty of its surrounding dams, hills, indigenous
forests, farmland and forestry area's, Stutterheim is quiet perfection for
hikers, mountain bikers, fishermen, birders, caravaners and campers. Being
situated directly on the N6 to East London makes for easy access to the
town and its surroundings. Established
as a missionary station in 1837, the town has since grown to a community
of 30 000. In the last decade our town has received widespread recognition
for its achievements in community building, community development and
sound local government. The town's primary industries are the surrounding
farming and forestry area's and associated industries such as sawmilling
(Rance Timber). The last two decades have also seen the development of a
successful light manufacturing industry (Newden Products) and recently the
establishment of a growing tourist industry for those interested in the
outdoors.
