Port Elizabeth or PE, is known as the Friendly City as well as the Windy City.  Hopefully the former and not the latter will be remembered by its visitors.

Port Elizabeth was established to accommodate British settlers who were brought out on a government sponsored programme in 1820 to provide a buffer between the eastern boundary of the Cape Colony and the Xhosa people.  The little port grew from there and today is the gateway to the Garden Route, as well as Eastern Cape’s many game reserves and beautiful beaches.  (ITT)
