Vos surveyed it and the first parcel was sold on 24 May 1896. Robinson built his mining headquarters there, including the first office building on what was previously open veld. Nearby Langerman Street is named after his general manager, who steered the company away from participating in the ill-fated Johannesburg Reform Committee.
