Town Name:

Viljoenskroon

Municipality:

Moqhaka Municipality

Description:

Situated next to the R76 road, within the maize triangle, and bordering the Vaal industrial complex. This small farming town generates a deep sense of peace and well-being. The town is characterised by its stud farming in the district, and several huge grain silos make it one of the biggest grain storage centres in South Africa. Viljoenskroon is named after the original farm owner J.J. Viljoen and his horse Kroon.

The Evans Tractor Museum, on the farm Sandfontein, is an interesting visiting point.

A well-developed accommodation sector provides much needed accommodation to visitors, visiting the agricultural sector throughout the year - but especially during the well-known annual NAMPO agricultural show in the nearby district of Bothaville.
