-------------------------------
Grootfontein lies on the B8, a Namibian National Road that leads from Windhoek to the Caprivi Strip in the north-eastern part of Namibia. The town lies in the Otavi triangle and in Afrikaans its name means "Big Spring". (There is indeed a large hot spring near the town). In 1885, 40 boer families from the north-west of South Africa settled here. They were part of a group known as the Dorstland Trekkers and were heading towards Angola to settle there but when that territory fell under Portuguese control, they turned back and established the "Republic Upingtonia" at Grootfontein. Ten years later, mining operations started in the Otavi region (see article on "Tsumeb") and the Germans took control and established a military base as a gate to the Caprivi Strip.
