The stretch of countryside on the west slopes of Table Mountain has always been a wilderness, sitting right on the doorstep of the sprawling city that has become Cape Town.  A public auction of lots was held on 26th March 1904 and by 1905 the first house had been erected.  In 1930 there were only two residents living permanently in Llandudno, but the number has slowly grown over the years to about 350 at present.
