Meaning 'Big Eye' in Khoi, it is not certain whether the original inhabitants referred to the permanent fountain in the hills near the Roman Catholic Mission Station or the wide view one has from Tierberg. About 50km south-west of Upington and close to the Orange River, Keimoes is a centre for the cultivation of peaches, grapes (for both wine and raisins), watermelons, pecan nuts and lucerne. It has a 'bakkiespomp'" or waterwheel, symbol of the area's fertility, turning in a canal beside the main street. Near the waterwheel is a national monument, previously the Dutch Reformed mission church. The 'Tree of Prayer' is a big camel-thorn in front of the high school, where religious gatherings were held during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918, such was the fear of infection within enclosed areas.
Loerkop, just east of the town, was used by the Korannas during the guerilla war of 1879 against the government troops, as a lookout post.
Tierberg Nature Reserve, 4km along the Augrabies Falls road, is noted for its many aloes and a lovely view across the Orange River Valley from the summit of the reserve.
