More about Worcester
Worcester is a large agricultural town and a well-known winemaking region in the Breede Valley, Western Cape province.
The town was founded in 1820 and became a municipality in 1842. It is a major economic and agricultural hub in the Boland, and the enterprises that employ most of its residents, such as light manufacturing, brandy distillation, wool milling, fruit processing and canning, provide the municipality with a stable economic foundation.
Worcester has a robust central business area, dependable infrastructure, and a sizable retail, distribution, and commercial sector. Nevertheless, despite being the centre of the local economy, the town continues to suffer several difficulties. Many people in the community struggle with substance abuse and unemployment.
