Middelburg (M)

Name: Middelburg (M)

“The area where Middelburg town is situated today was originally part of the Lydenburg Republic that separated from the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republic in 1857. It is said that Rev. JH Neethling of Stellenbosch, who visited the parsonages of the Transvaal in the 1850’s, recommended that a town should be proclaimed and named Middelburg. The name was chosen due to the geographic location of the town which is half way between Pretoria and Lydenburg.” – Business Guide 2009/2010
