History Of Atlantis

Atlantis is about 40 km from Cape Town.  It was established in the 1970s as an industrial area. The residential section was built to encourage labour to move into the area to work in the industries.  Incentives were put in place for industry to set up here but when the incentives were removed many of the factories moved away. Currently, only about 3% of the original companies still have businesses in Atlantis but many new factories and businesses have started to operate in Atlantis
