The first white settlers in the Northern Province settled themselves in Schoemansdal at the foot of the Soutpansberg mountains. Here they built houses from wood, mud and grass. They traded in ivory and skins. Schoemansdal had to be evacuated after 28 years because of trouble between the town's people and the neighbouring tribes.
Evidence is found in the rock art throughout the mountains.
