The Buffalo River, named after the buffalo that once roamed the area according to the Xhosa language (the word "Bisho" itself means "buffalo" in Xhosa), flows through both Bisho and King William's Town. These two towns, along with another city called East London, are all part of the Buffalo City Municipality.
