Maitland is a suburb in Cape Town, South Africa. Maitland is situated along a number of important transport networks connecting the Cape Town city bowl to the rest of the city. The most important being the railway line that runs through the middle of the suburb and the N1 that is situated on its northern boundary. The area has always been an important transport hub for the city. In 1845 one of the first roads from Stellenbosch through the Maitland area was completed. This effectively connected Cape Town to the rest of Africa as at the time the dunes of the Cape Flats prevented much traffic between the two locations. The suburb is named after Sir Peregrine Maitland who was governor of the Cape in the mid 1840s.

  • Maitland est une banlieue nord de la ville du Cap en Afrique du Sud. Ce quartier du Cap tient son nom de Peregrine Maitland, gouverneur de la colonie du Cap de 1844 à 1847. (fr)
  • Maitland è un sobborgo settentrionale di Città del Capo in Sudafrica. Il quartiere prende il nome da Peregrine Maitland, governatore della colonia del Capo dal 1844 al 1847. Maitland è un importante nodo della rete dei trasporti di tutta l'area del Capo, connettendo difatti il centro di Città del Capo in primo luogo con il suo hinterland e quindi con il resto del Paese. La costruzione di una delle prime strade a collegare Città del Capo con Stellenbosch, nel 1845, interessò infatti proprio l'area di Maitland e si rivelò essenziale per il successivo sviluppo del Capo: in precedenza, infatti, le comunicazioni erano risultavano particolarmente difficoltose a causa della presenza di invalicabili dune sabbiose in tutta l'area delle Cape Flats.
