The estimated population in 2005 is 28,689. It is one of the Cape's chief centers of the wool industry, and also produces beef, dairy, fruit, lucerne, and mohair. Due to its hot sulphur springs, the town enjoys a reputation as one of the best health resorts in the province. It stands at an altitude of 2856 ft.

Three miles north of the town are sulphur baths (temp. 100°F) used for the treatment of rheumatism. In the neighboring district a few herds of mountain zebras survive, now protected by game laws. The town was founded on 27 August 1818 when a Dutch Reformed church was built; it is named after Sir John Cradock, governor of the Cape from 1811 to 1813. Interestingly, the design of the Dutch Reformed Church building is based on that of St Martin-in-the-Fields in London.

The town's other attractions include the Victoria Manor Hotel and the "tuishuise", a collection of restored Victorian era craftsmen’s houses in Market Street.
