MalmesburyMalmesbury was initially known as Het Zwartland (Black Land), so called because of the rhinoceros bush which appears black during summer. In 1745 the fifth Dutch Reformed congregation was established here with only 24 members, who had set up home near the sulphur spring. It was only in 1829 when the then Governor of the Cape, Sir Lowry Cole, renamed the town Malmesbury in honour of his father-in-law, Sir James Harris who was the First Earl of Malmesbury in England. It was in 1860 when the town received it's municipal status.In the 1900's Malmesbury suffered two major natural disasters. A tornado hit the town in September 1905 and flood water damaged a lot of the old buildings in town during the late 1900's. Malmesbury today is home to wheat, canola, flower fields and vineyards. It's historical buildings have been lovingly restored to their original beauty. Malmesbury has so much to offer its visitors from attractions, seasonal attractions, fine restaurants and a wide variety of accommodation choices to suit any budget. Some of the accommodation choices are: self catering units on surrounding farms, bed and breakfast establishments, guest houses to luxury hotels.
