The first areas of Centurion were established in the early 1900s, with the development of housing for civil servants and Iscor workers. The area started to thrive in the 1960s due to an increase in interest from first house buyers, after the first property sales hit the market.
A decision was finally made in 1978 to develop Centurion’s own economic base, where only local shops and offices had existed prior. The town initially had no city centre, but once the business centre was developed in 1978 it stimulated the economic growth and potential for job creation significantly.
This is the perfect suburb to work, live and play!
