The area that is known today as Randburg was originally formed by four farms - Klipfontein, Driefontein, Olievenhoutspoort and Boskop. The earliest settlers there were Boer pioneers in the 1850s and 1860s. The farm Boskop was eventually subdivided and a part of it was proclaimed as Klipfontein.
Further subdivision in 1891 resulted in two important Randburg suburbs. One section of the Klipfontein farm was bought by Scotsman William Gray Rattray in 1891. He renamed his portion Craighall after his birthplace in Scotland and another portion of Klipfontein was bought by business tycoon Sir Abe Bailey which he renamed Ferndale.
Today, Ferndale real estate has a wide variation in residential options and property sizes. Certain parts of Ferndale also offer office accommodation. The convenient location of Ferndale and its easy access to highways and the Sandton CBD also make it an ideal residential or business address.
