Parow was a residential suburb of Cape Town, located some 16km from the city centre. It was established by Johann Heinrich Ferdinand Parow, a Prussian ship's captain who was shipwrecked at the Cape in 1865. He purchased the land in 1886, and the village was proclaimed in 1901.

Lying in the Northern Suburbs of Cape Town, Parow is just East of Goodwood and Southwest of Bellville, with easy access to some of the mother city's major tributaries - the N7 and N1 - placing the Suburb in an effortlessly reachable position for those needing to get to the City Centre fast, or the outer reaches of the city via Paarl.

During the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, Parow was largely transforming into a commercial area, with many shopping centres opening around Voortrekker road, one of the longest roads in Cape Town.
