Robertson
Robertson was founded in 1853 and named after the Scottish Dutch Reformed Church Minister, Dr William Robertson. Situated in the fertile Robertson Valley, farming and wagon-building were the town's original industries. However, after the Second Anglo-Boer War of 1899, the wagon building industry collapsed when the railways took over the transport of all goods.
Subsequently, the region became synonymous with ostrich farming, but this industry collapsed as well shortly after World War I. Thus, the farmers of the area turned started to embark on wine and fruit farming. Later, several successful racehorse stud farms were founded. Agriculture remains the mainstay of the town's economy up to the present day.
The wine industry in Robertson has grown from less than 25 cellars in 1995 to more than 50 registered wine cellars currently. There are a number of wine cellars that receive the highest awards both locally and internationally every year. Robertson wine cellars include highly acclaimed names like Graham Beck Wines, Van Loveren, De Wetshof, Viljoensdrift, Bon Cap and a number of co-ops.
