Dutch soldiers came here and established a cattle post in 1672. There is Lourens River around which the town developed. This is a river that passes through Stellenbosch and the farm of Vergelegen. A subsidiary of a big mining company called Anglo American now owns the farm. The company has brought the farm back to its original historic form. A few wine types are still produced from here.
