Cradock (Nxuba), founded in 1813 on the banks of the Great Fish River, was established as a British military outpost to protect the frontier from Xhosa attacks. Named after the then-governor of the Cape Colony, Sir John Cradock, the town quickly developed into a thriving agricultural community. Its fertile soil and abundant water supply made it a centre for wool and mohair production. Cradock is also a town of literary significance, having been home to the renowned South African writer Olive Schreiner, and it boasts a number of well-preserved historical buildings, including a Dutch Reformed Mother Church designed to resemble St. Martin-in-the-Fields in London.
