CRADOCK
INTRODUCTION
Cradock
was founded by Sir John Cradock after the Frontier War of 1812 as a
stronghold to secure the Eastern area of the then Cape Province. It lies
in a broad part of the upper Fish River valley. The rich soil, plentiful
water and warm climate make it an ideal lucerne, fruit and dairy farming
area. When necessary supplementary water is fed to the area from the
Orange River via a tunnel, 82 kms long - making it one of the longest
irrigation tunnels in the world!
