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. The farm is important for this area because it is open for tourists. It was here on this farm that Somerset West was established in 1822.
