Rouxville is a small wool and cattle farming town in the Free State Province of South Africa. It started after mail irrgularities at Aliwal North, led authorities to re-direct mail between the Cape Colony and the Orange Free State to the farm Zuurbult in 1863. A town sprung up and was named after Dutch Reformed Church Reveerand Pieter Roux of the Smithfield parish.
