The name Rustenburg means “town of rest” and was found in 1851. Rustenburg is the 3rd oldest town in the “Old Transvaal”. Historians venture two explanations of the origin of the name. The one group alleges the town was named after the Rustenburg estate at Wynberg in the Cape, while the other group maintains the name originated from expectations harbored by the Boers for harmony and peace for the region. For a while Rustenburg was even the capital of the Zuid Afrikaanse Rupubliek, before the seat moved to Pretoria. For an interesting view of the olden days visit the museum, build in 1841 as a pioneer cottage.
