Additional Details:
The town of Randsburg was founded in 1895 after three prospectors hit gold. Initially named "The Rand" after a South African gold-producing area, it grew rapidly to over 300 structures by 1897 and a population of 3,500 by 1900, despite being devastated by three fires. Today, its population is approximately 425.
