Geography and history

Odendaalsrus is a small town situated in the Lejweleputswa region of the Free State Province, South Africa. This area originated from a collection of farms and a central church. In 1946 gold was struck and Odendaalsrus has since thrived on this infrastructure. The town was established on a farm named Geduld in 1912.

Water was sold to the people from a privately owned well, because the village suffered from perpetual water shortage.
