TOURISIT INFORMATION
Rouxville Municipality: 051 663 0008
During 1863 the mail between the Cape Colony and the Free State was redirected to the farm Zuurbult due to irregularities at Aliwal-North. Petrus Wepenaar founded Rouxville on the farm. The town was named after Rev. Pieter Roux who travelled throughout the Eastern Free State for many years holding church services for the local community. During the Anglo-Boer War the town was completely deserted for two years, as all it's citizens were called up for active duty. Today the town is the breeding centre for Afrikander cattle and is well known in the Free State for wool production.
