Southwell is a settlement within the former farming district of the same name, about 23 kilometres (14 mi) from Port Alfred and about 35 kilometres (22 mi) from Grahamstown.

Established in 1849 as a mission station, it was located at Lombard's Post,[1] a fortified farmhouse originally granted to Pieter Lombard in 1790 as a leningsplaas (loan farm).[2] Canon Henry Waters was the first resident minister.[1]

In the mid-19th century it hosted a Xhosa school, which was closed down during Mlanjeni's War.[3]

The local St James Anglican Church was built in 1870.[4][5] The foundation stone was laid by Nathaniel Merriman, Archdeacon of Grahamstown.[1]

In 1925 a survey was done for a railway branch from Martindale to Southwell.[citation needed] The railway was never built.
