Albertinia had its origin from the spiritual need of the farmers in the area and to establish an education institution. A portion of the farm Grootfontein was bought by the Dutch Reformed Church in 1902 from the widow Anna Sophia Louwrens. Mr Henry Stanford had already bought another portion of the farm in 1881 which was called Stanfords . This portion came in 1912 under the control of the Town's Management. Albertinia was named after Reverend J R Albertyn.
