Elsburg is a town in Ekurhuleni in the Gauteng province of South Africa. It is a town some 6 km south-east of Germiston.
Laid out on the farm Klippoortjie in 1887 and proclaimed a town in 1908. It was named after the owner, Commandant Johannes Marthinus Els. Els returned from the war and divided his farm among his remaining troops who had lost everything. It was administered by a health committee from 1908 and by a village council from 1938. Municipal status was achieved in October 1957. It almost became the capital of the goldfields instead of Johannesburg.[2]
