| Description | Ever since the pioneering days of white settlement in the Transvaal, the ward of Gatsrand has assumed an important position. Up to the time of the inception of the gold mining industry in the northern parts of the area, by 1937, the population was still largely agrarian. After that the gold mines there began to make an important contribution to the proclamation and development of towns. The article in particular emphasizes the manner in which one of these towns, Carletonville (established in 1948), developed as the main centre of the gold mining area. It also shows to what extent a lack of support by the gold mining industry as well as a town's distance from the goldmines, could influence the growth of certain towns. | |
