Pretoria was named after Andries Pretorius, a prominent leader of the Voortrekkers in the mid-19th century. The city was established in 1855 and was originally called "Pretoria" in honor of him, reflecting his significance in the Great Trek and the establishment of the Boer Republics. The name symbolizes the historical connection to the Afrikaner movement and their settlement in the region.
