History
The suburb was founded on one of the original farms on the Witwatersrand, after a strip of land was sold from the farm Doornfontein.[1]Template:Rp It originates around 1896.[2] The suburb is possibly named after a daughter of the Lorentz family.[1]Template:Rp Other sources are Judith Cornelia Estresia, wife of the original farmer owner F.C. Bezuidenhout.[2] It had a terminus for the Johannesburg tramway network on the corner of Ascot Road and First Street.[1]Template:Rp
For much of the twentieth century, along with Yeoville, it established itself as a hub for middle-class Jewish residents. These residents had usually arrived with earlier waves of Jewish migration from Europe and had established social and financial security in their adopted home.[3]
