Joachim Machado, an engineer who surveyed the land for the preposed Pretoria-Delgoa Bay railway line, gave his name to the village laid out on the farm Geluk near the train station. After the evacuation of Pretoria during the Anglo-Boer War, the town was a temporary seat of the Republican government before being shelled by the British. Today it serves as an important railway junction. The economy of the district is based mainly on cattle and sheep ranching. The town and district is a popular destination for trout anglers.
