It was established in 1876 on the Seekoeispruit, in the foothills of the Dlomodlomo Mountains (meaning "place of much thunder"),[2] at the site of a sulphur spring that delivers ±30,000 litres of hot water (at ±50 °C) per hour. Multiple sulphur springs are found around the area, including the one situated at Mkhingoma on the Mkhomazana river. HistorySwazi tribesmen were the first to discover the spring and called it "eManzana", which means "healing waters".[3] It has been said that in about 1876 the Swazi chief presented this spring, in gratitude, to a hunter, Jacob de Clerq, who subsequently built a store nearby and developed the spring to allow for visitors’ use due to its believed medicinal properties. RecreationThe spring became very popular when gold was discovered in the De Kaap Valley (near Barberton). Prospectors would visit there on weekends to get away from their strenuous work of digging for gold. On 6 November 1893, the government claimed the springs to develop a health resort for public use in perpetuity.[3] It was proclaimed in December 1947.[3] The Protea Group managed this Aventura Resort for a time, but the resort has now been purchased by the Forever Resorts Group.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=http://census2011.adrianfrith.com/place/860005 |title = Main Place Badplaas |work=Census 2011}} {{Wikivoyage|Badplaas}}{{Gert Sibande District Municipality}}{{Mpumalanga-geo-stub}}2. ^{{cite web | title =Badplaas (description) | url =https://www.travelground.com/accommodation-in/badplaas/about | website =TravelGround | date = | accessdate =22 October 2015 }} 3. ^1 2 {{cite book | title=Dictionary of Southern African Place Names | publisher=Jonathan Ball Publishers | author1=Raper, Peter E. | author2=Moller, Lucie A. | author3=du Plessis, Theodorus L. | year=2014 | pages=1412 | isbn=9781868425501}} 4. ^{{cite web | title =Welcome to Badplaas | url =http://www.foreverbadplaas.co.za/ | website =Badplaas official website | date = | accessdate =22 October 2015 }} 4 : Populated places in the Albert Luthuli Local Municipality|Populated places founded by Afrikaners|Hot springs of South Africa|Populated places established in 1876 |
