The Village of Papendorp lay some 2 km East of Cape Town, on the Main Road to Stellenbosch, later to become known as, Albert Road. The Area was named after Pieter van Papendorp who settled there during the mid-eighteenth Century. His Home, known as; 'La Belle Alliance', in deference to the French presence at the Cape in 1781-84, was registered in 1788 as security for a debt of 4,000 Florins, he had incurred with Jan Winterbach. In time, a number of Families began to Build their Homes near the Van Papendorp Homestead and, by the early 1800s, the Area had begun to be known as Papendorp. In 1845 it could boast of an Anglican Church and a School, and by the 1860s it came to be regarded as a fashionable Residential Suburb. This Development was accelerated after the Railway line from Cape Town reached Papendorp on 13 February 1862. During the 1870s its Beachfront, located immediately North of the Castle, began to develop as a favourite Bathing Spot for Cape Town Residents. In 1881 it was Amalgamated with the Neighbouring Village of Salt River under the name of Woodstock. The story is told, of how a Resident's Meeting was held at the Woodstock Hotel in Papendorp to, decide upon a name for the new Municipality. The proposal to name it Woodstock was put forward by a group of Fishermen, who had been drinking at the hotel at the time, and who wished to honour their favourite watering hole. Because they outnumbered the rest of the meeting, their motion was carried. After 1903 the Social and Economic character of the Area began to change, with increasing Industrial Development taking place.

Sulaimania Masjid was the first Mosque built in Woodstock, in 1947. This was in the form of a House but in 1955 the King of Egypt, Farouk and his Government donated money for its completion.
