Uniondale was established when the small towns of Hopedale & Lyon merged in 1856.
This little farming town is situated in the Little Karoo and was initially known for its wagon building
and ostrich feather industries.
Uniondale is nested between the Kammanassie mountains and the Langkloof and is predominantly a
sheep, goat, seed and apple farming community.

Scenic Routes
Uniondale is ideally situated to form part of circular
tourist routes that include destinations such as Oudtshoorn,
Baviaanskloof, Port Elizabeth, Knysna and George.
It is also at the end or start of the popular Route 62 and
adjacent to the Langkloof known for it's fruit as well as
indigenous flora farms.
Uniondale is linked to Knysna and Plettenberg Bay (a mere 85km away)
by the stunningly beautiful Prince Alfred's Pass.
The pass was designed and built by Thomas Baines and still
has the original hand packed stone retaining walls.
