Porterville is a small town on the tarred R44, about 115 Km N/East of Cape Town in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. It grew from 1863 when the farm Pomona, owned by an 1820 British Settler, Frederick Owen, was subdivided into residential plots. It lies at the foot of the beautiful Olifants River mountains and was named after the then Attorney General of the Cape, Sir William Porter.
