History of Boksburg

Boksburg, founded in 1887, is one of South Africa's oldest towns, developed after gold was discovered in the Witwatersrand. Named after Eduard Bok, the state secretary of the South African Republic, it initially thrived as a mining town. The Boksburg Lake, created in 1889, was essential for transporting goods and remains a central landmark. Over time, Boksburg diversified its economy with industries like manufacturing and commerce. Today, it’s a significant part of the Gauteng province, known for its historic sites, parks, and shopping hubs, blending heritage with modern amenities.
