Mohair has been recorded as early as the Bible times. In the book "Exodus", it is mentioned that in Jewish churches, the screens covering the altar and the curtains of the windows are exquisite products of pure mohair.
Subsequent research found that the Angora goat originated in the East Asian plateau, the Himalayas in Tibet, China.

It was not introduced to South Africa for the first time until 1838-one of the most important mohair producing areas in the world today. The origin of South Africa's mohair industry is entirely a kind of good luck: in 1838, the Turkish Sultan gave South Africa 12 castrated male Angora goats and a female Angora goat. What Sudan did not expect was that this female goat had become pregnant and gave birth to a baby goat. In this way, Angora goats began to reproduce in South Africa. This beautiful and docile animal finally settled in the Karoo region of Cape Town, South Africa, because the Karoo region is dry in summer and cold in winter. The large area of shrub mountain area is very suitable for the growth of angora goats. Therefore, Karoo has gradually developed into a major Angora goat herding area in South Africa.
Coincidentally, the introduction of Angora goats into the United States was purely accidental. At first, people thought it was a Kashmir goat. In the United States, only Texas has a climate and environment suitable for angora goats to survive. Today, South Africa and Texas mohair are the world's most advanced in terms of production and quality.
