Philadelphia is a village in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
This village is 33 km south-west of Malmesbury and 23 km north-east of Durbanville. It was developed from a parish of the Dutch Reformed Church established in 1863. The name is of biblical origin (Rev. 3:7-13) and means 'brotherly love.' [2]
Philadelphia lies on the R304 regional route which passes through the village as “Philadelphia Road” which runs eastwards to connect the village to the N7 highway (toCape Town and Malmesbury) and Atlantis in the north-east and westwards to connect the village to Stellenbosch in the south-east. About 7 km east of Philadelphia, the M58 (Adderley Road) runs from the R304 to Durbanville in the south, one of the nearest large towns to the village.
