Randburg
Randburg is an area located in the north west of Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa. Formerly a separate municipality, its administration devolved to the newly created City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, along with neighbouring Sandton and Roodepoort, in the late 1990s. During the transitional period of 1996-2000, Randburg was part of the Northern Metropolitan Local Council (MLC).〔http://www.jda.co.za/developments/randburg/overview〕
== History ==
Randburg was founded as a town in 1959, as the amalgamation of 32 suburbs, northwest of Johannesburg. Although economically linked to Johannesburg, residents chose to create their own town council. The name ''Randburg'' was chosen in a competition, and is derived from the South African Rand currency, which was introduced at around the same time that the new municipality was established in 1959.〔(History of Randburg )〕 Randburg was a stronghold of the National Party during the apartheid era.〔(city of Johannesburg - Randburg streets get freedom names )〕〔(National Party wins two-horse-race by-election in Randburg | South African History Online )〕
The resident demographic of Randburg tends to be more affluent than most of Johannesburg. The area was declared as a white area during the Apartheid era, but post-apartheid has attracted a varied population. It is still predominated by white English and Afrikaans suburban citizens.〔(Census 2001 — Main Place “Randburg” )〕
