Town Info
Trou d'Eau Douce, The village takes its name from the fact that at a place on the shore, Belle Isle, source drinking water and comes into contact with salt water. The first inhabitants of Mauritius were the Dutch , but they did not live there. The Batavian ships docked the island for supplies of water and food ( turtles and dodos ) on their trips to and from their colonies in the Dutch East Indies . Trou d'Eau Douce was one of the first places in their water supply, hence the name. The first dwellings date from the period 1653 - 1658 , under the government of Reiner Por. On a map of Pieter van der Aa , dating from 1721 , Trou d'Eau Douce appears under the name of Oostersgat, literally " the hole to the east ". In 1655 , the village was with Flacq and the bay of Grand Port, the only Batavian houses on the island. The period of French colonization was more prosperous. The names of several districts bear witness to this: Montée Bastille, La Peyrousse, Maho, Débarcadère, Sept Croisés, Camp Nadal, among others. But there are also Dutch- sounding names like Despéroux, or British like Victoria. The village was home to a sugar cane factory in Victoria, as well as a lime kiln in Le Maho. The lime was an essential component in the production of sugar to the old. With the abolition of slavery in 1839 , many freedmen stopped working in the fields and settled along the coast, especially at Debaradere and Le Maho, and lived by fishing . Hence the origin of the fishing tradition at Trou d'Eau Douce.

Bremersdorp
Cacellation Date
18 Nov 1957
Town Info
Manzini (formerly known as Bremersdorp) is a city in Eswatini (Swaziland), which is also the capital of Eswatini's Manzini Region. The city is the country's second largest urban centre behind Mbabane, with a population of 78,000 (2008). It is known as "The Hub" of Eswatini and lies on the MR3 road. Eswatini's primary industrial site at Matsapha lies near the town's western border. A commercial centre from the time a trading post was opened in 1885, Bremersdorp was designated a township in 1898. Arthur Bremer sold his hotel for use as British Colonial authorities who had administered Swaziland since 1894 as their national administrative headquarters, and stipulated that the settlement would bear his name (dorp is the Afrikaans word for "small town"). The name reverted to its original Swazi name, Manzini, in 1960. The town was a British/Boer colonial headquarters from 1890, but was destroyed in 1902 amid the Anglo-Boer War when the administrative centre was transferred to Mbabane. However, Bremersdorp subsequently remained the commercial, agricultural and transportation heart of Swaziland, earning the town the nickname "The Hub." Since its inception in the 1920s, the Agricultural Show (name later changed to the Swaziland International Trade Fair) has been the country's largest and best-attended annual event. In 1915, the first hotel since Bremersdorp's post-Anglo/Boer War reconstruction was opened on the banks of the Mzimene River. Named the Riverside Hotel, it remained opened until 1997, changing its name over the years to the Manzini Arms Hotel and in the 1990s the Velebantfu Hotel. The buildings were intact after closure for several years, but were leveled in 2008 by private developers. A shopping mall opened on the site in 2011.
