About the city: Port Elizabeth, city in south-eastern South Africa, in Eastern Cape Province on Algoa Bay (an arm of the Indian Ocean). It was founded in 1820, as a British settlement around Fort Frederick (1799), the oldest British building in southern Africa, and was named by Sir Rufane Donkin, the acting governor of the Cape Colony, for his deceased wife, Lady Elizabeth. However the city grew after it was connected by rail to Kimberley in 1873, which spurred development of the port. South Africa's greatest batsman Graeme Pollock, comes from this city.
