Beaufort West is situated within South Africa's Western Cape province and stands as the largest suburb in the arid expanse of the Great Karoo region. The town is known as the 'Capital of the Karoo'. Beaufort West serves as the focal point of an agricultural region primarily dedicated to sheep farming and plays a vital role as a prominent town and logistical support centre along the N1 national highway. Beaufort West is also known for its beauty and charm, a welcoming atmosphere and thriving community, making it a wonderful place to call home.
A brief history of the area
Beaufort West holds the distinction of being the first settlement in the heart of the central Karoo. Its inception dates back to 1818 when it was originally named Beaufort in honour of Henry Somerset, the 5th Duke of Beaufort. He was the father of Lord Charles Henry Somerset, who was serving as the governor of the Cape Colony at the time. The town underwent a name change in 1869 to become Beaufort West, a decision made to prevent any potential confusion with both Port Beaufort in the Western Cape and Fort Beaufort in the Eastern Cape.
