Machadadorp (J 8)

Name: Machadadorp

Machadodorp was established on the farm "Geluk" (happiness) in 1894 and was named after Joachim Machado, the Portuguese engineer who first surveyed the railway route between Pretoria and Delagoa Bay. Today Machadodorp is known for its temperate climate and superb trout fishing waters.

The Elands River runs through the town and Machadodorp's natural sulphur is said to have healing properties. The town is a repository for numerous turn-of-the-century buildings.
