Prince Albert
Prince Albert lies on the southern edge of the Great Karoo, nestling under the majestic Swartberg Mountains. Prince Albert was founded in 1762 on the loan farm De Queek Vallei with Zacharias De Beer as its first incumbent. Originally known as Albertsburg, when it obtained municipal status in 1845 it was renamed Prince Albert in honour of Queen Victoria's consort, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg.
The village has many preserved Cape Dutch, Karoo and Victorian buildings, 13 of which are National Monuments.
