Marble Hall
Marble Hall is a town in the south of the Limpopo province of South Africa. It was formerly in Mpumalanga province. Village 26 km north-west of Groblersdal and 96 km south-south-east of Potgietersrus. Laid out in 1942 and proclaimed a township in January 1945, it owes its development to the Marble Lime Mine. Said to be an adaptation of ‘marble hole’, where fifteen varieties of marble occur.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://archive.org/details/DictionaryOfSouthernAfricanPlaceNames )〕 ==History== While on a hunting expedition from Pretoria, Christoffel Visagie and his family discovered a hole containing marble in 1920. In 1929 the Marble Lime Company came in to work on the deposits and then, in 1942, a town was developed and known as Marmerhol (Afrikaans for ''Marble Hole''). Soon the town's name was changed to Marble Hall〔(www.sa-venues.com )〕
