History

The town was laid out on the farm Klipbank and named after its original owner, W.J. Grobler. It grew around the Loskop Dam irrigation scheme after the dam on the Olifants River was completed in 1939. The municipality, formerly Greater Groblersdal, is now named after anti-apartheid activist Elias Motsoaledi.
