With the opening of the Bain’s Kloof pass through the mountains in 1853, and the railway ten years later, the farming community in Wellington swelled. It was nevera great centre of activity, so it is curious that every passenger train makes a forced stop at Wellington. This is because the man who donated his land for the station, did so on condition that every train stopped there and even the long distance express trains pull in for a few minutes to adhere to this old rite of passage! Wellington is the centre for the dried fruit industry and in early summer you might see row upon row of bright orange apricot halves soaking up the sun to dry the flesh.
