  	5. Historical background and Cultural context The area known as Kleinbaai today was a portion of the Klip Fonteyn farm 711 which was used by the original owner PC van Dyk, known as Flip, as rotational grazing for his sheep while the family would spend many holidays there (see Fig.13:18). The earliest two permanent structures ever built in Kleinbaai can be seen in the background of this photograph. A "tentdorp" was established by holiday makers during 1920's -1930's as can be seen in Fig.12:17. Flip was the owner of Concordia farm at Napier, a farm next to Baardskeerdersbos where he farmed. Flip Snr, commissioned land surveyor Hill from Hermanus to survey his portion of Kleinbaai and declared it a township. This development was registered as Van Dyksbaai (hence the title deed references to it) in order to differentiate it from the greater Kleinbaai. By the time of Flip's death in 1942, a number of properties were already sold. Later when Chris van der Merwe purchased the entire area to develop it further as a holiday destination, the two townships were consolidated to form one village called Kleinbaai.
