	Grahamstown : Introduction \| Frommers.com
		Grahamstown was named after Col. John Graham, who established a garrison here in 1815 with orders to drive the Xhosa eastward over the Fish River -- a ruthless expulsion that was to spark the 100-year Frontier War.
		Reminders of its English colonial past can be seen everywhere: streets lined with charming Georgian and Victorian buildings, the only Victorian camera obscura in the Southern Hemisphere, one of South Africa's oldest English-speaking universities, and a number of highly regarded English-style private boarding schools dating back to 1885.
		As something of a microcosm of South Africa's social and economic problems, Grahamstown is certainly worth visiting, and never more so than in July, when the town hosts its 24-year-old arts festival, said to be the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere and second in size only to Edinburgh's.
