History

Prior to the discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand in 1886, the future suburb lay on land on one of the original farms that make up Johannesburg, called Klipfontein.[3]: 70  The farm was bought by William Grey Rattray in 1890 and renamed it Craighall.[3]: 70  In 1928, his daughter would rename part of the land on the farm after her father, Rattray's birthplace, Blairgowrie in Scotland in Britain.[3]: 70  The suburb consisted of 406 stands over 56 ha and was established in 1941.[3]: 70
