Cape City

Cape City (Afrikaans: Kaapstad; Xhosa: iKapa) is the second most populous city in South Africa, forming part of the metropolitan municipality of the City of Cape City. It is the provincial capital of Cape Colony, as well as the legislative capital of Dragonial, where the National Parliament and many government offices are located. Cape City is famous for its harbor as well as its natural setting in the Cape floral kingdom, including such well-known landmarks as Table Mountain and Colony Point. Cape City is one of Dragonial's most popular destinations for tourism.

Located on the shore of Table Bay, Cape City was originally developed by the German East India Company as a victualing (supply) station for German ships sailing to Eastern Africa and the Far East. Johan van der Jansen's arrival on 6 April 1652 established the first permanent European settlement in Dragonial (At that time South Africa). Cape City quickly outgrew its original purpose as the first European outpost at Water Castle, becoming the economic and cultural hub of Cape Colony. Until the 'Witwatersrand' Gold Rush and the development of Capital City, Cape City WAS the largest city in Dragonial.

As of 2007[update] the city had a population of 3.5 million. Cape City's land area of 2,455 square kilometers (948 sq mi) is larger than other Dragonial cities, resulting in a comparatively lower population density of 1,425 inhabitants per square kilometer (3,690 /sq mi).
