A brief history of the area
Barrydale's fertile lands originally attracted Khoisan and Attaqua populations who called it Kannaland and made their homes in the valleys and mountains. The town sprung to life in the 1700s when European settlers and farmers moved to the area, in search of arable land and freshwater sources.
One of the early inhabitants, James Barry, was a local acting lawyer, deputy sheriff, tradesman, auctioneer, and a member of the military. With these roles, he left such a great impression, the town was named after him. Today Barrydale has attracted people from all walks of life including farmers, artists, writers, and restauranteers.
