Local Attractions Queenstown was founded in 1853, it was intended to be a military outpost designed to protect the British subjects from attack during the time of the Frontier wars. The town was laid out around a central hexagon which was to be the Lager to which the citizens would flee in time of trouble. Although still a distinguishing feature of the town today, the hexagon was never used for this intended purpose.
