Herold is a small town tucked away at the end of the beautiful Montagu Pass near George. The construction of the Montagu Pass in 1847 put Herold on the map. The new pass was built to replace the old Craddock Pass , cutting the traveling time to George drastically. As a result of this the small town of Herold grew rapidly as travelers needed services and a place to stay.
