The Cape Colony (Afrikaans: Kaapkolonie) is one of the four republics of, located in its southwestern part: it borders and  to its east, the  Codominium to its north,  to its northwest, the  to its west and the  to its south. The territory of the republic is desertic and arid in the north, while rolling hills and fertile valleys dominated in the coastal areas to the south, where most of the population live.

The Cape Colony was the first area of what today is South Africa to be settled by the boers back in the 17th century, and Cape Town rapidly rose to become the most important commercial, cultural and administrative centre of the whole region: boer immigration completely changed the demographic makeup of the region over the centuries, and currently almost all of Cape Colony's population is made up of whites and mixed race people. Today, its economy depends largely on agriculture, manufacturing, naval industry, and commerce on its ports.
