Zuurveld: Verskil tussen weergawes

Daar is verskeie verklarings vir die naam "Albany", maar die mees waarskynlike is dat genl. [[Jacob Cuyler]], landdros van [[Uitenhage]], dit in 1814 vernoem het na sy geboortestad in die Amerikaanse deelstaat [[New York]], [[Albany]], waar sy vader burgemeester was. Die nuwe naam is in 'n regeringsadvertensie van [[7 Januarie]] [[1814]] afgekondig, waarin gestaan het: "''Notice is hereby given that His Excellency the Governor and Commander-in-Chief has been pleased to direct that that part of the district of Uitenhage formerly called Zuurveld shall in future be known and called by the name Albany. Castle of Good Hope, January 7th, 1814, by Command of His Excellency the Governor. H. Alexander, Secretary.''"
