Mount Fletcher
Template:Infobox South African town Mount Fletcher is a town in Joe Gqabi District Municipality in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, 69 km north-north-east of Maclear.
Founded in 1882, it takes its name from the mountain nearby. This was probably named after the Reverend John Fletcher of Madeley in England, a friend of John Wesley, although it is stated to have been named after a Captain Fletcher who was stationed there.[1]
The provincial hospital in Mount Fletcher is named Tayler Bequest.[2]
