On 17 October 1714, the Governor of the Cape Colony awarded the Blommesteijn farm to Theuns Dirksz van Schalkwyk.

In September 1732, the farm was granted to van Schalkwyk's daughter Anna Dirksz Brommert.

At the same time, Brommert also received the Door de Kraal farm, which previously belonged to Tryntje Theuinisse.

One part remained Door-de-Kraal and another was sold to Hume Pipe Company, who mined clay in Bellville's Quarry.

[1][2][3] In 1969, a dispute arose between the municipalities of Bellville and Durbanville, as to under whose jurisdiction Kenridge fell.

[6] Kenridge is surrounded by other suburbs that fall under Bellville, such as Eversdal, Protea Valley and Door-de-Kraal.
