Heilbron - Definition and Overview

Heilbron is a small farming town in the Free State Province of South Africa which services the cattle, dairy, wheat, sunflower and maize industries. This area was originally inhabited by the Le Goya people. In 1836 Chief Mzilikazi fought off the invading Voortrekkers at Vegkop near here. The British built a concentration camp here during the Boer War to house Boer women and children.
