Between 1700-1740, clashes between Trekboers and indigenous people led Trekboers to move to the top of the Bokveld escarpment. The town came into being in the late 1800s. Nieuwoudtville is known for its biggest variety of indigenous bulbous plants in the world, and the 100m high Nieuwoudtville Falls on the Doring River. During the flower season, usually August and September, the town is very popular and accommodation in short supply. It is during this time that a visit to the Hantam Botanical Garden just outside town is well worth a visit as is all the surrounding farm roads.

“Nieuwoudtville, on the Bokkeveld plateau of the Hantam Karoo, was established in 1897 on the farm of HC Nieuwoudt. Hence the name.” - Chris Smit, 2024/07/13
