In 1845 the missionary Heinrich Kleinschmidt of the German Rhenish Missionary Society gave the area its new name of Rehoboth.


By 1864, the Nama abandoned the area due to war.


The Basters arrived in 1870 and were granted permission to settle in Rehoboth by the peace conference of Okahandja.


Today, the town is primarily inhabited by Basters commonly known as Rehoboth Basters or Rehobothers.
