Kimberley's Belgravia and Monument Heights carry Victorian and Edwardian buildings from the diamond era, while Upington's Orange River irrigation belt has raisin and date farms with sheds and workers' housing. Kathu and Postmasburg grow on iron ore, and Springbok serves the Namaqualand wildflower trade.
