Notes |
- Willowmore began on the farm, The Willows, as a trading center in 1864 and was first named Willow-Moore. William Joseph Moore's father William Senior was born in Buckinghamshire (UK) and married Ann Dove in 1792. In 1819 they emigrated to the Cape of Good Hope as members of the British Settler program.
They came with their two adult children William junior and Eleanor both born in the UK.
William junior's first wife, Margaret Williamson, whom he married in 1817 in London, died soon after arrival. He then married a "local" girl, Petronella Catharina Terblanche. They had a daughter, also Petronella Catharina, who in 1846 married Frederick Daniel Christian Lehmkuhl.
The town of Willow-Moore (Willowmore) was founded in 1864 when Frederick and William Joseph Moore, his brother-in-law and business partner donated land to the Dutch Reformed Church.
In 1874 a magistracy was established and it became a municipality in 1884. In 2000 Willowmore became part of the Baviaans Municipality which covers an area of more than 7700 square kilometers, incorporates the the towns of Willowmore and Steytlerville as well as the Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area. The administrative center of the Baviaans Municipality is in Willowmore.
Today, Willowmore forms the gateway to the Baviaanskloof, a World Heritage site. Stock farming (mainly Angora goats, Merino sheep and Boer goats) makes up most of the area's economy with game farming and tourism following close by.
