Thabazimbi, meaning "mountain of iron" is the Tswana name for this peaceful, prosperous town and refers to the highly lucrative iron ore reef first discovered here in 1919 and mined since the 1930s when iron and steel production started. The town was proclaimed in 1953. The area is also good farming country, especially game farming. Eco-tourism and controlled hunting activities are equally important and the region is fast becoming a preferred eco-tourism destination.
