The Town Albertinia had its origin from the the spiritual need of the farmers in the area and to establish an education institution. A portion of the farm Grootfontein was bought by the Dutch Reformed Church in 1902 from the widow Anna Sophia Lourens. Mr Henry Stanford had already bought another portion of the farm in 1881 which was called Stanfords . This portion came in 1912 under the control of the Towns Management. The Town was named after Reverend J R Albertyn. The area surrounding Albertinia is an eco-paradise with breathtaking view stretching from the coastal area right along the Gouritz River over the dune lands to the South of the N2 up into the foothills of the Langerberg Mountains to the North.
