Koedoespoort (G 8)

Name: Koedoespoort

Surveyor WR Lanham laid out the suburb of Hatfield on the farm Koedoespoort for the Wesleyan (Methodist) Society in 1905. The suburb was named after Hatfield House in Hatfield, Hertfordshire, England, the residence of William Waldegrave Palmer, second Earl of Selborne (1859-1942), who became Govenor of the Transvaal (1905) and High Commissioner in 1909. The name Hatfield has its origin from Old English haep field, meaning "heather-covered field". Hatfield township was incorporated into the Pretoria municipality in 1916. Most of the residential houses remaining in the Hatfiield - Hillcrest area date back to the early 1900's.
