Uniondale is a small town in the Little Karoo in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. The town was formed in 1856 by the joining of two towns, Hopedale and Lyons.[2] Its primary claim to fame is the ghost story of the Uniondale hitcher.[2][3] The town is connected by the N9 road and the R339 road.
