Bedfordview

Bedfordview in Gauteng, South Africa is part of the greater metropolitan area of Johannesburg, and is the home of the Eastgate Shopping Centre, the very first shopping centre in South Africa. Even today, this shopping centre is still one of the largest in the country. The region around Bedfordview has a long history. Natives have lived here since ancient times, and then Europeans began to settle in the 1800s. Most of Bedfordview was once part of the Elandsfontein farm. In fact, the town's coat of arms pictures an Eland grasping a fountain celebrating the rural past.

Today, the city is home to many businesses and some in the aircraft industry. Visitors to the vicinity find this prosperous city is close to the many attractions in the region of Johannesburg.
