Parktown North, Gauteng
Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAR : Parktown North, Gauteng
Parktown North is a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa. It is one of the older residential areas of the Northern Suburbs, having been created as a residential area for the poorer relatives of the Gold Magnates who had built their mansions on Parktown Ridge during the early days of the Johannesburg Gold Rush (during the 1890's). It takes its name from being North of Parktown. The suburb has many old Colonial-style houses, and manages to maintain a village atmosphere, despite being near to one of the busiest roads in the city, Jan Smuts Avenue.
