A brief history of the area
Evidence from the Sterkfontein Caves suggests that this area has a long history dating back to prehistoric times. Hominids may have lived close to Centurion, emphasising the area's lasting appeal. Centurion has its roots in Lyttelton Township, which was established in 1904 on the estate Droogegrond. By uniting the areas of Doornkloof, Irene, and Lyttelton, it was given its City Council status in 1964 and given the name Lyttelton. Lyttelton was later renamed Verwoerdburg in 1967. Verwoerdburg eventually changed its name to Centurion, a name it has maintained to today
