Marble Hall is a town in the south of the Limpopo province of South Africa. It was formerly in Mpumalanga province.
Marble Hall is a village 26 km north-west of Groblersdal and 96 km south-south-east of Mokopane on the N11 national route. Laid out in 1942 and proclaimed a township in January 1945, it owes its development to the Marble Lime Mine. Its name is said to be an adaptation of ‘marble hole’, where fifteen varieties of marble occur.[1]
History
While on a hunting expedition from Bethlehem, Matthew Greeff and his dog discovered a hole containing marble in 1920. In 1929, the Marble Lime Company came in to work on the deposits and then, in 1942, a town was developed and known as Materhol (Afrikaans for Matthews Hole). Soon, the town's name was changed to Marble Hall.[2]
