Willowmore, Eastern Cape, South Africa

Willowmore was officially established in 1874 after starting out as a trading centre on the farm, The Willows.  According to some, Willowmore was named after William Joseph Moore, who occupied the farm "The Willows" on which the town was laid out.  More romantically, there are others that believe it was named by a farmer, Luhmkuhl, who combined his wife's maiden name, Petronella Catherina Moore, with a large willow tree that stood close to the house.
