Ysterplaat, on the beach where Jan van Riebeeck landed on April 7, 1652, is well known for the local Air Force Base Ysterplaat. The base was used as the civilian Maitland Airfield as early as 1929, and officially changed its name from AFB Brooklyn to AFB Ysterplaat on April 1, 1949.
The Ysterplaat Reformed Church seceded on December 7, 1940, from its mother church, the Maitland Reformed Church, which then stretched to nearby Milnerton, Table View, and Bloubergstrand.
