Edenburg is situated 83km south-west of Bloemfontein. This typical Transgariep town, nestled in the golden prairies alongside the country's busiest National road, sets its own pace as a prosperous sheep and cattle farming centre.
The town was founded on 24 February 1862 when the farm Rietfontein was purchased to built a church. The first application for recognition as a town was turned down by the Volksraad, but proclamation was eventually granted on 4 March 1863. Municipal status was won in 1891.
A large Dutch Reformed Church towers over all & landmarks a focal point to get your way around town.
