Resting on the banks of the Natal Spruit and spanning 77.16 km² – Alberton was originally a farm called Elandsfontein which was owned by Johannes Petrus Meyer. Though only gaining its municipal status in 1939, Alberton’s first official post office opened its doors in 1929 and many settled within its borders years prior to this.
