Town 56 km north-east of De Aar. It was established in May 1863 on the farm Rietfontein and became a municipality in August 1876. Named after Sir Philip Edmond Wodehouse (1811-1887), Governor of the Cape Colony from 1861 to 1870.[2] At the jailhouse to the west of town is the building where a small force of the 65th Imperial Yeomanry and Native Police held off a large force of General De Wet's men during the Second Anglo-Boer War. During this action, Corporal William Sopp of the Imperial Yeomanry was awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal for courage under fire when he rode out from this building to warn the approaching Australian Bushmen who were coming to relieve them that there were hundreds of Boers lying in wait for them. The Boers fired at this lone horseman as he raced to the Australians then raced back, arriving back at the jail without injury. This caused De Wet to delay his movements for several hours and turned him back towards a large pursuing British column.{{cn|reason=Anon. editor originally stated that "The account can be read in S.H Gilberts eye witness account in his facinating book "Rhodesia and After" published in 1901 about the deeds of the 18th Imperial Yeomany "The Rhodesian Field Force" as they fought their way across the Cape and Orange River Colonies and included my own Great Grandfather Trooper Thomas Andrews 18th Imperial Yeomany 71st Company "The Sharpshooters".", but I cannot verify this without access to the source|date=August 2016}} References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=http://census2011.adrianfrith.com/place/373005 |title = Main Place Philipstown |work=Census 2011}} {{commons category}}{{Geographic Location2. ^{{cite web|title=Dictionary of Southern African Place Names (Public Domain)|url=https://archive.org/details/DictionaryOfSouthernAfricanPlaceNames|publisher=Human Science Research Council|page=364}} |Centre = Philipstown |North = Orania |Northeast = Petrusville |East = |Southeast = Colesberg |South = Hanover |Southwest = De Aar |West = |Northwest = Strydenburg }}{{Pixley ka Seme District Municipality}}{{NorthernCape-geo-stub}} 2 : Populated places in the Renosterberg Local Municipality|1863 establishments in the Cape Colony |
