Clocolan is situated in the heart of the Eastern Free state on the R26 halfway between Bethlehem and Bloemfontein. The town was established in 1907 on the farms Reinzi and Harold and got it's name from the mispronunciation by the Afrikaners who farmed there of the name of the Hlohlowane mountain to the West of the town.
The Eastern Free state is best know for the majestic sandstone formations scattered around the area. Clocolan forms part of the area that was won from Lesotho during the Lesotho wars of the early 1800's. The area is rich in the history of the Afrikaners who settled here and the Basotho who lived here. The town hosts the yearly Veteran Tractor Exhibition in March.
Clocolan is the second smallest district in South Africa, but also one of the top agricultural districts in the country. The area is know for the cultivation of wheat and maize, large cattle and sheep herds and the cultivation of specialty fruit such as cherries...*ANTIQUITIES AUCTION*
