This report provides historical information on Eerste River, catchment, abiotic and biotic characteristics. The Eerste River rises on Dwarsberg 60 km east of Cape Town as the head of Jonkershoek. The river catchment covers the eastern part of the Cape Flats lying to the west of the Hottentots Holland Mountains and south of the Tygerberg where the Kuils river trinutary rises east of Kanonkop. This river was the first river encountered on leaving Cape Town by early settlers and agricultural and urban developments in the catchment appeared in early years.
