At elevation and with limited perennial water, landscapes such as this were used regularly by Khoisan, then subsequently claimed as loan farms by settlers and Khoisan or mixed-race individuals. In this region, Cornelis Koopman claimed Doornbosch in 1754 while the nearby Onrust was claimed by Barend Lubbe and then by his son Frans (1750–1791).
