Pella is a historical little village, which came into existence during the 1830s when a Moravian Mission Station was built on a farm that was once known as Kop van Groenrivier (Head of Green River). The postal agency at Pella is called Katzenberg and the first mention of the name in official records dates back as far as 1876. The village still has a postal agency, housed in a small building close to the Moravian pastor’s house
