Middelburg is a modern town situated in the Cultural Heartland of the Mpumalanga Province in South Africa. It serves as the agricultural, industrial and communications centre for the surrounding area. Initially, Middelburg was planned as an ideal halfway point between Pretoria and Lydenburg in 1859. However, nothing resulted from this idea. In 1864, The Dutch Reformed Church bought the farm of Sterkfontein and in 1866 the town of Nazareth was developed on it. In 1872, Nazareth was then renamed Middelburg. Today, Middelburg is well known as the Stainless Steel Capital of Africa as it is home to a large stainless steel plant named Columbus Stainless.
