Long before Barberton’s streets were surveyed, its hotels filled and its mines began producing the gold that would make it famous, there was another place in the De Kaap Valley where hopeful prospectors first gathered. That place was Jamestown, a small, rough diggers’ camp that today survives only in scattered historical references but which played a crucial role in the earliest days of the Barberton gold rush.

Jamestown emerged in the early 1880s during the first tentative searches for gold in the valleys and streams of the Lowveld. At a time when the region was still remote and largely unexplored by European prospectors, small parties of diggers moved through the De Kaap Valley, testing riverbeds and gullies for alluvial gold. It was in this experimental phase of prospecting that Jamestown began to take shape.
