Somerset West is a town in the Boland & Overberg region of South Africa's Western Cape situated in the Helderberg area about 50 km southeast of Cape Town. Somerset West lies within easy reach of several beaches bordering the Atlantic Ocean. Somerset West is overlooked by the imposing Helderberg, a part of the Hottentots-Holland range of mountains in the Western Cape.
The land in which Somerset West is situated was initially bought from local tribes and a cattle post was established there by Dutch soldiers in 1672. A town developed around the Lourens River and the farm of Vergelegen, an 18th century farmhouse built in the historic Cape Dutch style by Willem Adriaan van der Stel, governor of the Cape and son of Simon van der Stel, who gave his name to the nearby town of Stellenbosch. Willem Adriaan was later sent back to Holland after being charged with corruption and cruelty towards local farmers. The farm is now owned by a subsidiary of the large mining company Anglo American, who have restored the farmhouse to its original magnificence and continue to produce some of South Africa's best wines there. The farm is open to tourists.
The town was named Somerset after an English governor of the Cape Colony during the 1800s, Lord Charles Henry Somerset, with the suffix 'West' being added after 1825 to differentiate it from Somerset East, another South African town in the Eastern Cape. In the 1830s, Sir Lowry's Pass, named after later governor Sir Lowry Cole, was constructed to link Somerset West with outposts further east over the Hottentots-Holland mountains.
