The village of Oudtshoorn was first established in 1847 on the farm Hartebeest Rivier, and it was founded as a kerkplaats (church farm) by the Dutch Reformed Church in 1853.

Special attractions
Stargazing is a popular pastime for both visitors and locals in Oudtshoorn. The Karoo's low concentration of air pollution makes it possible to view more stars and shooting stars since they are more visible and brighter.
The Highgate Ostrich Show Farm, which was founded in 1938 and is encircled by the scenic Swartberg Mountains and the Klein Karoo region, is the first and most authentic ostrich show farm in the world. In addition to being educational, the tours provide guests with a chance to get up and personal with ostriches. Here, you may learn everything there is to know about ostriches, feed one yourself, and see craftsmen explain how to use the ostrich's gorgeous feathers, eggs, and leather in numerous crafts.
The Cango Caves are situated in Precambrian limestones near Oudtshoorn, in the foothills of the Swartberg range. The main cave is one of the most visited tourist attractions in the nation. Only roughly a quarter of the huge network of tunnels and chambers-which extends for more than 4 km-is accessible to tourists, who can only enter the cave in groups under the guidance of a guide. The Middle and Later Stone Ages, when the caverns were used for a prolonged period of antiquity, are shown by cave paintings and artefacts.
