History


This small suburb lies just south of the Johannesburg CBD with Marshalltown to the north and Wemmer to the south.[1] It was proclaimed a suburb on 26 October 1921.[1] Prior to the discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand in 1886, the suburb lay on land on one of the original farms that make up Johannesburg, called Turffontein.[1] Lying close to the Main Reef gold deposits, parts of the farm were proclaimed as a gold claim with the mine eventually called Salisbury Gold Mining Company.[1] The area is now a mix of commercial and light industrial usage.
