Leeudoringstad was established in 1920 and named after the Lion-thorn tree. The town hit the headlines on 17 July 1932 when a train carrying 320 to 330 tons (previously incorrectly stated as 1,200 tons) of dynamite from the De Beers factory at Somerset West to the Witwatersrand exploded and flattened the town. Five people were killed. The paper, "The Star" of July 18th, 1932 carried extensive articles. Today, Leeudoringstad hosts the headquarters of Suidwes Landbou, one of the largest agricultural companies in South Africa.[2] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=http://census2011.adrianfrith.com/place/678008 |title = Main Place Leeudoringstad |work=Census 2011}} {{Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality}}{{NorthWestZA-geo-stub}}2. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.suidwes.co.za|title=Suidwes|access-date=26 February 2015}} 2 : Populated places in the Maquassi Hills Local Municipality|Populated places established in 1920 |
