| dbo:abstract | Caledon ist eine Stadt in der südafrikanischen Provinz Westkap. Sie ist Verwaltungssitz der Gemeinde Theewaterskloof im Distrikt Overberg. Caledon liegt in einer Höhe von 244 Metern über dem Meeresspiegel am Fuß der Swartberge an der Straße N2 und der Bahnstrecke Eersterivier–Protem/Bredasdorp. Kapstadt ist 120 Kilometer und Botrivier ist 27 Kilometer entfernt. 2011 hatte Caledon 13.020 Einwohner. (de) Caledon is a town in the Overberg region in the Western Cape province of South Africa, located about 100 kilometres (62 mi) east of Cape Town next to mineral-rich hot springs. As of 2011 it had a population of 13,020. It is located in, and the seat of, the Theewaterskloof Local Municipality. The town continues to be inhabited by Khoikhoi communities who, before the arrival of colonizing forces, were the wealthiest on this land. Caledon is situated on the N2 national route, 113 kilometres (70 mi) by road from central Cape Town. At Caledon the N2 is met by the R316 from Arniston and Bredasdorp, and the R320 from Hermanus. It is also located on the Overberg branch railway line, 141 kilometres (88 mi) by rail from Cape Town station. The Caledon district is primarily an agricultural region. Most agricultural activities involve grain production with a certain amount of stock farming. The town is locally well known for the Caledon Spa and Casino and for its rolling hills and yellow canola fields in spring. The town has a Mediterranean climate of warm, dry summers and cool, wet winters. Temperatures are modified by its close proximity to the South Atlantic Ocean, just over the Klein River Mountains to the south. The place was originally known in Dutch as Bad agter de Berg (Bath Behind the Mountain). A bath house was built in 1797 and a village called Swartberg sprang up, which was later renamed Caledon in honor of the Irish peer Du Pre Alexander, 2nd Earl of Caledon (1777–1839), the first British governor of the Cape (1806-11). The writer Peter Dreyer was born in Caledon at the Caledon Baths Hotel in 1939. Rhodesian government minister P. K. van der Byl retired to Caledon and subsequently died there, in Fairfield.

Está situada en una región básicamente agraria cuya actividad más importante es la producción de cereal, además de una considerable producción ganadera. Geográficamente se encuentra en la región del Overberg, junto a la principal autopista de la costa sur, la N2, 120 kilómetros al este de Ciudad del Cabo. A la ciudad se la conoce por el Caledon Spa and Casino, sus colinas y el amarillo de sus campos de colza cuando llega la primavera. La ciudad disfruta un clima mediterráneo con veranos secos y calurosos e inviernos húmedos y fríos. Las temperaturas se ven afectadas por la cercanía del Atlántico Sur, al sur de las montañas .

Caledon behoort tot de gemeente Theewaterskloof dat onderdeel van het district Overberg is. (nl) Caledon è un paese sudafricano, situato nella provincia del Capo Occidentale, più precisamente nella Municipalità locale di Theewaterskloof del distretto di Overberg. La popolazione di Caledon ammonta a circa 13020 abitanti. Caledon dista circa 100 km dalla capitale Città del Capo ed è situata sulla National Route 2, una delle più importanti strade del Sudafrica. È inoltre attraversata dalla Overberg branch line, la principale linea ferroviaria del distretto di Overberg. Quella di Caledon è una regione principalmente agricola e la maggior parte delle attività riguarda la produzione di grano e, in minor parte, l'allevamento. Il paese è conosciuto per la presenza di uno stabilimento termale e di un casinò e per le dolci colline e i campi di colza che ne caratterizzano il paesaggio. Il clima è mediterraneo, con estati calde e asciutte e inverni freschi e umidi. Le temperature sono determinate dalla sua vicinanza alla parte meridionale dell'oceano Atlantico, diviso dall'entroterra dalla catena delle Kleinriver Mountains. Originariamente la denominazione in olandese della località in cui oggi sorge Caledon era Bad agter de Berg (Terme dietro la montagna). Lo stabilimento termale fu costruito nel 1797 e nacque un villaggio chiamato Swartberg, che avrebbe poi preso l'attuale nome di Caledon in onore del nobile irlandese Du Pre Alexander, II conte di Caledon, nonché primo governatore britannico del Capo d'Africa.
