Title Potchefstroom, waar kry jy daardie naam?
 
Creator Haasbroek, D.J.P.
 
Subject — Potchefstroom; original orthography; German influence
Description An analysis of relevant sources reveals that Potchefstroom was not (as is generally assumed) founded in November 1838 but at the earliest, after 3 December 1838. The oldest sources furthermore indicate that Potchefstroom was not the original orthography and only later became the general accepted for, probably under German influence. This consequently also casts some doubt on the modern explanation of the meaning and derivation of the name.
