A small town and railway junction town in northern Cape Colony, 54 km south of Colesberg and 45 km north of Rosmead Junction. Modern day Noupoort. The train line from Port Elizabeth arrived in 1881.

No 6 General Hospital was based in Naauwpoort. St Agnes Anglican church was erected in 1901 in memory of the fallen. Boer Commandant Gideon Scheepers received medical treatment at the hospital before being sent to Graaff-Reinet for trial.

The town furnished a DMT and Town Guard
