Town 42 km north-east of Modimolle (Nylstroom) and 51 km south-west of Mokopane (Potgietersrus). It was founded on the farm Vischgat in 1907 and administered by a health committee from 1919. The name Naboomspruit is Afrikaans but derived from Khoekhoen; ‘euphorbia tree stream’, after the Euphorbia ingens which grows there.[2] The town was officially renamed Mookgophong on the 24 November 2006, by the South African government.[3]
