KwaNobuhle is established as a dormitory town situated approximately four kilometers south of Uitenhage (now known as Kariega), near Port Elizabeth (now known as Gqeberha), in the Eastern Cape.

The name KwaNobuhle translates to "a place of beauty" in English. This town traces its origins back to 1967. It was established in order to house those residents of the old Uitenhage suburbs of kwaLanga, eXaba and New Gubbs who, at that time, were being displaced from their homes by the authorities under provisions of the Group Areas Act.

KwaNobuhle has been one of the townships in the region that have experienced problems with disrupted water supply^[3][4] or water restrictions during droughts due low levels in the Kouga Dam and Lourie Dam. Completion of the Nooitgedacht water scheme, implemented by Amatola Water and financed by the Department of Water and Sanitation is seen as a way to alleviate these problems.^[5]
