Taung "The Place of the Lion" named after Tau, chief of the Bataung people, who made his headquarters here during the 18th century. The village made world headlines when Australian anthropologist Professor Raymond Dart made a startling find here in 1924. The little Taung skull, which he classified as Australopithecus africanus, belongs to one of the earliest hominids that lived in southern Africa some 2.5 million years ago.

Beautiful Taung marble quarried in the area. In contrast to white dusty powder of the quarry, lies azure Blue Pools surrounded by picturesque caves and streams.
