The Vosburg Old Graveyard is located in the small town of Vosburg in the Northern Cape province of South Africa. The town was established in 1895 on the farm 'Vosburg' and named after the original farm owner, C. J. Vos. The graveyard dates to around 1900 and contains graves from the early settlement period, reflecting the pioneer and farming community of the region. Many of the graves are unmarked or have simple headstones, typical of rural cemeteries of that era. The site is not a formally declared heritage site but is of local historical significance, representing the early European settlement and the lives of the inhabitants of the Karoo region during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
