It lies on the N4 road. The village originated from a farm in existence since 1843, initially known as Kronendal, on which a mission was established - one of 22 German Lutheran missions in Natal and the former Transvaal. By 1889 a settlement was surveyed and divided into plots.[2] The local school, established in 1892, is said to have been attended by Louis Botha, who would become South Africa's first prime minister, and Afrikaans poet JD du Toit.[2] In fact both these men were pupils for brief periods at schools founded by missionaries of the Hermannsburg Mission Society - Botha at Hermannsburg near Greytown, du Toit at Morgensonne near Rustenburg.{{or|date=September 2014}} The local church congregation counts about 400 members, and is 80% German-speaking, with most of the rest being Afrikaans speakers.[2] EducationThe city formerly had a German school, Deutsche Schule Kroondal.[3] References1. ^Water Services National Information System - Community Report {{Bojanala Platinum District Municipality}}{{NorthWestZA-geo-stub}}2. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Kroondal|url=http://www.tourismnorthwest.co.za/bojanala/kroondal.html|publisher=Tourism North West Province|accessdate=3 January 2014|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131121092845/http://www.tourismnorthwest.co.za/bojanala/kroondal.html|archivedate=21 November 2013|df=}} 3. ^"Deutscher Bundestag 4.
