Where gold, rail and Germiston began

Germiston is older than Johannesburg’s suburbs and has the gold to prove it. Prospectors struck gold on the farm Elandsfontein in August 1886, and the Scot John Jack and the German August Simmer started the Simmer and Jack mine. The town took its name from the Jack family farm near Glasgow. The Rand Refinery opened here in 1921 and grew into the largest gold refinery in the world. Germiston also became one of Africa’s busiest railway junctions, which is why the town still works hard and moves fast. Lambton grew in the early 1900s as the town’s leafy residential side, and it’s kept that character since.
