Diamandt ende Peerlbergh, "the diamond and the pearl"... Abraham Gabbema is literally dazzled by the reflection of the spring sun on this mass of granite still wet from the rain. We are in October 1657. Back in Cape Town, the horseman announces to have discovered a valley favourable to the cultures. The first farmers were quick to settle, among whom were a majority of Huguenots: Isaac Taillefert in Laborie and Picardie, Jean Cloudon in De Goede Hoppe, Gabriel Le Roux in La Concorde, Pierre Labuscaigne in Pontak, Jean Imbert and then Jacques Therond in Languedoc and Armand Véron in Saint-Omer... The town itself was founded in 1720.
