Welkom, which means "welcome" in Afrikaans or Dutch, was founded following the discovery of gold in the region. Its development was greatly aided by Ernest Oppenheimer, who was Anglo American's chairman at the time.
About 160 kilometres northeast of Bloemfontein, Welkom, South Africa's youngest town (it was granted city status only in 1955), is the centre of the Free State gold fields and is said to have risen at a pace that is comparable to that of Johannesburg, the country's largest metropolis.
For lack of a better term, Welkom has the peculiarity of being one of the few fully planned cities in the world. The result is a city that runs well and is easy to navigate; suburbs each have their own shopping and commercial centres and residents seldom have more than a 10-minute walk to reach them.
