History
In the mid 1800’s local tribes and Boer Settlers fought bitterly over the land – in 1836 the Voortrekkers decided to invade the area, but Chief Mzilikazi and his people fought them off at the Battle of Vegkop. The Boer’s finally beat back the Ndebele and Zulu warriors and officially established Heilbron in 1873. Heilbron means ‘spring of blessings’, and the town is named after the fountain which is the source of the Renoster River, and which gave rise to the settlement.
After Bloemfontein was conquered by the British forces during on 13 March 1900, Heilbron was proclaimed as the capital of the independent Boer Republic of the Orange Free State, when President Marthinus Steyn had his headquarters in the town. Only a week after the fall of Bloemfontein, Heilbron was also occupied, and President Steyn moved the capital to Frankfort, another town in the northern Free State.
