Hennenman is unusual within Matjhabeng’s economic make-up in that it has well-balanced economy based mainly on agriculture, an anomaly in an area in which most income is derived from mining and industry. Before the town was officially established it was birthed as a railway station, Venterdorp. This name was changed to Hennenman Station in 1927, after a prominent local farmer.

The town began to grow in earnest after the discovery of gold between Hennenman and Odendaalsrus in 1946 and was proclaimed a municipality in 1947. Hennenman and Phomolong have a population of approximately 25 000, which has been boosted by the recent inclusion of Whites, a self-sustaining private town with its own golf course, originally established for the cement factory.
