Graaff-Reinet is the fourth oldest town in South Africa. In its early years, the town served as the focus of a huge agricultural area, and as a hub from which to trade with the interior. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, its importance declined. This carefully researched study provides insight into the development of South African towns.
