Humansdorp was founded in 1849, and was named after Johannes Jurie Human and Matthys Gerhardus Human, who were joint founders of the Dutch Reformed Church congregation there.[1] The town's residential streets are lined with trees that were planted before the First World War by then-mayor Ambrose Saffery.

The Apple Express passes through Humansdorp.
