Gold gave Germiston it's beginning in 1886. It became a municipality in 1903 and a city in 1950. Because of Germiston`s unique geographic position, situated at the centre of the Pretoria-Witwatersrand-Vereeniging axis, Germiston became the focus of the country's most extensive railway network. Today some 200 000 rail passengers and 170 000 metric tons of goods pass through the City's station each month. Germiston has the most important markets on its doorsteps, raw materials are readily obtained and coal and steel are factors of immense economic importance. Industry has long since overtaken gold mining, however Germiston is still the home of the world's largest gold refinery. The City is also the home of more than 700 factories, some of them the biggest in the country.
