The Boyden Observatory was created by Harvard University in 1889 in Arequipa, Peru, using Uriah A. Boyden's bequest to Harvard. The observation conditions were not very good and Arequipa was situated in very inaccessible terrain. The decision was made to move the Observatory. In 1927 Boyden Observatory moved across continents to its present location in South Africa. In 1976 the Observatory was handed over to the University of the Orange Free State.
