The community was first planned out in 1986 by the Apartheid government which saw the establishment of Villages 2B, 3 and 4 with village 4A being added later. It initially had an urban density of 25 housing units per hectare. In 1994 area 4A was rapidly settled over the cause of a weekend as informal structures were erected on 500 sites during a land invasion. The area's population grew rapidly in the mid-1990s following the 1994 election. References
