Donkerhoek, or 'dark corner' as it directly translates into English, is where the battle of Diamond Hill took place during the Anglo Boer War. It used to be out in the sticks and people only passed this way, when travelling out of Town or to visit the Sammy Marks Museum. (Sammy Marks had arrived in South Africa with a case of silver knives as his only valuable possession, and became one of the first entrepreneurs, playing a significant role in mining, industrial and agricultural development in the country.)
The Willem Prinsloo Agricultural Museum is also in the vicinity.
