Situated 22km north east of Springbok, it was originally a Rhenish mission station formed in 1852. From 1853 to 1933 copper was mined in the area.
During the Anglo-Boer War the Boers used Concordia as their headquarters while Okiep was under siege. Some old Cornish style houses still remain as well as the original granery, used as a hospital by the boer commandos. |
