Observatory, Gauteng

Observatory is a Suburb in Johannesburg’s east (Region F, the former Region 7); it borders the suburbs of Cyrildene, Linksfield, and De Wet's Hof. It is named for the Union Observatory established in the early 1900’s (today's Johannesburg Observatory). It is also the site of Observatory Ridge, the city’s highest point. It is a well established suburb: Observatory Girls’ Primary was founded in 1918, and Observatory Golf Course (1912) is the oldest golf club in Johannesburg still operating from its original ground. The suburb also houses the Yeshivah Gedolah of Johannesburg.
