Edenburg is another one of those small towns. Proclaimed a town in 1863 and received municipal government in 1891. Laid out on the Farm Rietfontein in 1862 with the Dutch Reformed Church built in the same year. The name is said to be either of biblical origin or an adaptation of Edinburg, name of the birthplace in Scotland of the Reverend Andrew Murray, for many years the only minister in the Orange Free State.
CAUTION: Edenburg is one of those typical Free state daytime, weekday trade towns.
