Vila Robert Williams was the former name of Caála, in the then Portuguese Angola (before 1975). The town of Robert Williams was just west of Nova Lisboa (now Huambo) and was remarkable for huge outcroppings of boulders that jutted from the fields just outside the town. In those outcroppings researchers could find pottery shards, primitive metal smelting pits, and other archeological detritus.
Caála is served by a station on the Benguela Railway and is also the junction for a branch railway to Cuima. There are no airports found within 15 km around Caala, however one airport is within 50 kilometers.[3]
