Known for its diamond-mining operations. Founded after 1927. The name is Dutch and means 'small sea', referring to a lagoon at the mouth of the Buffels River.[2] The Buffels River "flows" through Kleinsee, but most of the time it is just a dry river bed and this river only flows approximately every ten years. The Primary School does not exist anymore, is now a Center for learning and Development Its population size generally consisted of around 2,000 residents, but was considerably reduced by the down-scaling of mining activities in 2009. Legend tells that a teacher called by the name of De Villagers from the local farm school had built a new school. - He was looking for lime deposits to whitewash the walls.- Accompanied by a builder called Alberts he kicked at a mound in the veld.- He then dislodged a diamond with the toe of his shoe.- It was then recorded as the first alluvial diamond found about a year after thediscovery of the deposits at Alexander Bay. - Within three weeks De Villagers and Alberts collected diamonds worth £600 whichwas a small fortune in those days. - They then sold their claims to an exploration company which eventually openedup the Kleinsee 'crater', reminiscent of the 'Big Hole' at Kimberley. • This area has then become known as the Diamond Coast.
