History
Prior to the discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand in 1886, the suburb lay on land on one of the original farms called Doornfontein.[1] Before becoming a suburb, the area was mining land with the Heriot Mine opening in 1887.[1] After the gold was exhausted in the mine, the land was proclaimed as a suburb in October 1946.[1]
