THE ORIGIN AND EARLY HISTORY OF PARYS In the heart of South Africa, straddling the border between the North West and Free State provinces and on the doorstep of populous Gauteng, lies a truly unique town, Parys The unique surrounding in which the town of Parys is situated, had its origin roughly around 2000 million years ago when a giant meteorite struck the earth just south east of Vredefort in the Free State Province. The impact structure that was subsequently formed has come to be known as the Vredefort Dome, the oldest and largest meteorite impact site on earth, measuring about 200km in diameter. Municipal life began in 1883, when a Village Management Board was appointed. When gold was discovered on the Witwatersrand in 1886, a period of development was in store for the little town, because the main road to the north through Bloemfontein en Kroonstad, went through Parys and many travelers passed forward or backward through the town. In 1887 the town began to benefit from this income and the Village Management Board was elevated to the dignity of a Municipality. Whenever the council of the day ran short of money, which they appeared to have done frequently, they adopted the simple plan of selling erven in order to raise it. As they could then do as they liked with erven money, they devoted the proceeds of the sales to the payment of current expenses. Such a policy naturally depreciated the value of the ground, until eventually erven were sold at very low prices. In these early days, many irrigation canals were built (many still running through the town) and having so much water available, the town council Decided that an electric lighting scheme should be put into use, using all the underutilized water of the irrigation scheme to generate electricity. The first electric lights glowed in Parys at Christmas 1912. Residents of the town had felt for quite some time that a bridge across the Vaal River was no more than its just due. A ferry service crossed on to an island, and from there another ferry completed the crossing. The service was different and accidents were not infrequent. Farmers on the Transvaal side preferred to go to Potchefstroom, thirty miles away, rather than face the trouble and expenses of a ferry crossing. Towards the end of 1913, tenders were asked for a reinforced concrete bridge over the Vaal, the length of the whole plan being 1600 feet, in 40 sections of 40 feet each. The contract was finally awarded to a Mr. Warren and the contract price was about 16 000 pounds. The work was started in May 1914, but the outbreak of the First World War three months later, caused long delays and the bridge was only finished and opened for traffic around Christmas 1915. The town developed slowly onwards the 20 th century, but unfortunately not many of the old buildings and places remain today. The current Parys Palm Court Hotel is still one of the surviving century buildings, as is the museum and a few houses in town. The Town Hall was built in the 1930's in the typical Art Deco style.
