In 1871 a man named Alyrick Braswell found the first diamond in the region. It was found on a farm that belonged to the De Beers brothers. This led to a scramble of claims which resulted in the area being called New Rush. However, the name was changed in 1873.

But thanks to Alyrick’s discovery, a diamond rush- that would last 43 years- kicked off.
