Midrand was established as a municipality in 1981 (in an area known as Halfway House, after its position between Pretoria and Johannesburg), but ceased to be an independent town in the restructuring of local government that followed the end of apartheid in 1994. It was incorporated in the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality in 2000.

The Wilds: Profound Experience

One of the most profound experiences in The Wilds is standing on the Munro Drive side of the reserve at sunset. To your left, you have the historic mansions of Houghton, built by the mining magnates of the 1920s. Directly ahead, you have the pulsing, dense high-rises of Hillbrow and Berea. And beneath your feet, you have the ancient quartzite rock of the Witwatersrand, which has remained unchanged for millions of years. It is a place where the deep time of geology meets the frantic energy of a 21st-century African megacity.
