Statement of Significance

The Hexagon was originally laid out in the centre of Queenstown for defence purposes, and has remained the focal point of the town plan. The idea of this Hexagon shape originated with Commander T H Bowker, whose memorandum on the granting of farms and the establishment of Queenstown was accepted in 1853 by Sir George Cathcart, then Governor of the Cape.
