Paarl town is located about sixty kilometers away from the province of Cape Town in a fertile valley between Paarl Mountain and the Du Toistkloof mountain range. This ancient town presents to its visitors an amazing opportunity to explore the beauty of nature and understand its beautifully significant history. The town is said to be one of the oldest European settlements. Its original inhabitants – Khoikhoi and san people were engaged in cattle rearing as well as trading at that time. Due to local war and diseases, the Khoikhoi people decimated and moved towards the Orange River. In the period between the 17th and 19th century, the Europeans had taken over most of this area and gathered slaves to work on their farms as well as nurse their children. Paarl is said to be founded in April 1652 by Gabemma Abraham. Modern Paarl has grown industrially and the town houses some magnificent architectural designs and large wine yards. Paarl’s economic activity is comprised of tourism and manufacturing. The recent years has seen an increase in tourism in the town.
