Mamre is situated between Darling and Atlantis on the R307, 45 km north of Cape Town. It was first settled in 1701 when the Governor of the Cape, Willem Adriaan van der Stel decided to establish a military and cattle post in this area to protect the European settler's cattle from theft by the indigenous Khoi Khoi people. Most of the buildings by the Moravian Missionaries (1808), have been restored.

“Mamre is a village and mission station 18 km south-east of Darling in the Cape Province. It was at first known as Groene Kloof after the Dutch East India Company post established there in 1701 and abandoned in 1791. Named after the biblical Mamre (Gen. 13:18), a name said to mean ‘fattiness’. (SA Place Names)” - Chris Smit, 2024/11/25
