Windsorton is an agricultural town situated in the Vaalharts Irrigation Scheme on the banks of the Vaal River in the Northern Cape province of South Africa.
The town started as Hebron, a mission station, but diamonds were discovered and the area was flooded with prospectors and the town became a diggers' camp. The town was renamed after PF Windsor, the original owner of the land.
