Nieuwoudtville lies on the Bokkeveld escarpment between Knersvlakte and the Hantam. The town’s story can be traced back to 1700 and the lovely loan farm, Groenrivier, which was granted to Michiel Heyns. A widow, Keesje Heufke, took the farm over from him in 1731, and Lieutenant Nicolaas Laubscher later lived on it 1742 to 1783. It was he who built the sand stone homestead. Its ruins are still visible on the farm. By November 1, 1828, Hermais Cornelis Nieuwoudt was registered as the owner and at that time many other Nieuwoudts, McGregors and Nels farmed nearby.

In die agtiende eeu was die hele Noordkaap Boesmanland. Soos die Wit Boere vorentoe getrek het, het die Boesmans teruggetrek. Die grense daarvan word gesien as die groot ruimtes Suid van die Oranjerivier, Oos van Namakwaland, Noord van Calvinia en Wes van Kenhardt.
