Noupoort was established as a railway station on the farm Hartebeesthoek when the railway line from Port Elizabeth was extended to Colesberg in 1883-84. Since then the station has developed into one of South Africa's major railway junctions. The expansion of the railway facilities was responsible for a growing population and stimulated town development. A village management board was constituted in 1937 and in 1942 Noupoort became a municipality. It now has a population of more than 7 000, consisting of Whites, Coloureds and Blacks, and is the-principal town of the Noupoort district.
