The farming tradition of the community that settled here after the Anglo-Boer war has remained virtually unchanged to this day. Lord Milner, administrator of the defeated Transvaal, demarcated land on the 'Emanzimhlope' - a tributary of the Crocodile River whose name translated from the Swazi as 'White Waters' - to demobilised Boer and British Anglo-Boer War soldiers. After a 26km canal to channel water from the river was built, the new settlers planted trees and established new cultivation methods. The agriculture involves largely the production of tropical fruits, vegetables, flowers and timber, and is one of the largest in the province. White River, with three irrigation dams and a number of nearby forests, is a popular holiday destination for those looking to enjoy the splendour of the Crocodile River Valley, and the town has a reputation for its arts and crafts.
