About
The Aberdeen heritage archive, citing SANParks, records white farmers settling the Camdeboo plains and the Sneeuberg around 1770, before Gordon’s 1777 panorama and long before the church town. Indigenous communities lived through that dispossession. This is a regional settlement note, not a town foundation date.
