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.
