Whakakiia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I whakatūria a Makhanda hei Grahamstown i te tau 1812 whai muri i te
Fourth Xhosa War as a military outpost by Lieutenant-Colonel John Graham as part of a campaign to secure the Eastern frontier of the Cape Colony. Ko te wha o nga pakanga Xhosa hei turanga hōia na te Lieutenant-Colonel John Graham hei waahanga o te pakanga ki te whakarite i te rohe rawhiti o te Cape Colony. I te timatanga i whakatau a Colonel Graham ki te whakatu i tana tari matua ki te pāmu nama Noutoe, e mohiotia ana inaianei ko Table Farm, engari na te taunakitanga a Ensign Andries Stockenstrom i nekehia ki te kainga o te pāmu nama De Rietfontein, no Lucas Meyer. Ko te hanganga o te tari matua hou, kei runga i te waahi o te Whare Karakia o naianei, i timata i te Pipiri 1812.
