History
The Municipality of Venterstad, which was formerly known as Ventersburg, was granted municipality regulations on 31 July 1882 in terms of Proclamation No 121 of 1882 under provision of Ordinance No 9 of 1836 (Cape of Good Hope Government Gazette No 6277 of 4 August 1882). Due to post being misdirected to Ventersburg, Transvaal, the name was changed to Venterstad in 1883 by virtue of Government Notice No 573 of 1883 (Cape of Good Hope Government Gazette No 6375 of 29 May 1883).
In 1994 Venterstad became part of the Eastern Cape Province. It forms part of the Walter Sisulu Local Municipality, one of three local municipalities that falls under the Joe Gqabi District Municipality.
