Kroonstad Information

The main industry is agriculture. A caravan park and many more camp sites on the banks of the willow-lined Vals River Valsrivier are frequented by anglers and watersport enthusiasts.

Kroonstad is also an important rail junction, and the town lies directly on top of the N1, and bypasses the town to the east.

Folklore has it that the town was named after a horse named Kroon (meaning Crown in Afrikaans), belonging to Voortrekker Sarel Cilliers, which drowned in a stream on the site of the present town. From 13 March-11 May 1900, it was the capital of the Orange Free State. The British built a concentration camp here during the Second Boer War to house Boer women and children.

Activities include golf on the 18 hole course in the town, game drives and hunting in the Boskoppie game reserve, fishing in the well stocked Vals River or on the Bloemhok Dam, and boating on the Serfontein Dam. Horse riding, gliding and Hiking Trails are also available
