This town, situated on the banks of the Wilge River, was established during 1919 as a halfway stop for ox wagons between Heilbron, Frankfort and Vereeniging. The landowners eventually named it Oranjeville in honour of the Prins of Oranje from the Netherlands Royal Family whose involvement with the upliftment of South Africa was well known at the time.
Today it is referred to as the Peninsula of the Northern Free State. Surrounded by vast water surfaces it is an angling mecca for fishermen. Situated within one hour's drive from the Gauteng Metropolitan area makes this town a popular day visitor destination.
