Originally a military garrison in 1834, the town was given its name in honour of Queen Adelaide, who was a consort of King William IV. At that point, the majority of the population comprised Scottish settlers. The Glenthorn Presbyterian Church, built in 1840, exhibits the Scottish architectural influence of the 19th century.

Adelaide was used as a transit camp for British troops during the War of Mlanjeni and was home to Jan Smuts and his commando during the Anglo-Boer war.

Many historically relevant documents and artefacts of the town are currently housed in Adelaide’s Heritage Museum. The building itself is historical and is an excellent example of a colonial home, complete with clothing, porcelain, Wedgwood and silver items of the time.

To the north east of Adelaide, one will find Piet Retief’s farm, built in 1836. It was used as protection for the local farming community against Xhosa warriors during the Eighth Frontier War.

It is difficult to over exaggerate the beauty of Adelaide’s idyllic location and colonial charm. Pam Golding Properties offers a selection of real estate options that accent the town’s tree-lined streets, old homes, churches and monuments.
