The first settler in this area was a man called Willem Prinsloo. He settled under the Bosberg, very close to where the Museum is today.Prinsloo was the unofficial veld cornet of the district where at least 20 other families had settled by 1774. They send a famous petition to Cape Town asking for the establishment of a Drostdy and a church in the area. This was how Graaff-Reinet came to be established. At some stage Prinsloo gave up parts of his farm and a farmer called Otto moved into the corner now known as Bestershoek. The Trichardt family followed, as well as the Besters.
