SOMERSET WEST
Situated at the foot of Hottentots Holland Mountains, Somerset West was part of the area granted to the Free Burghers in the 1700s. The main landowner until 1708 was the then Governor of the Cape, Willem Adriaan van der Stel, who founded the farm Vergelegen, along the banks of the Lourensford River. After Van der Stels return to the Netherlands in 1708, Vergelegen was divided into 4 farms. The farmers were then granted a request to build a church under the British government under Lord Charles Somerset. Subsequently a village sprang up around the church buildings, and named Somerset.
In the 1850s, the name was changed to Somerset West, in order to prevent confusion with the Eastern Cape town of Somerset East.
Today Somerset West retains the charm of a country village, while being in close proximity to all the comforts of modern life.
