Montagu Road was actually the name of the railway station that was built there in 1877. In 1883 the name was changed to Touws River because it became a place where people settled down and the area subsequently became a town. It became a municipality in 1962.
That would make the railway station 130 years old and the town 6 years younger in terms of the name change.
(I think this question is worthy of a star, because I would like people to know more about this lovely town. It took me a while to try and find the answer and in doing so found out a lot about this lovely place. I had to call South Africa when I couldn't find the answer. The mayor of my hometown told me on what website I could find the answer.)
