GRAAFWATER & LEIPOLDTVILLE

Graafwater was established after the railway junction was built in 1910 between Cape Town and Bitterfontein. The town was further developed by the local Dutch Reformed Church of Leipoldtville. A few years later Graafwater Dutch Reformed Church formed its own congregation. Leipoldtville was named after Friederich Leipoldt, the then minister at Clanwilliam and father of poet and author C.Louis Leipoldt.
