Johannesburg was established in 1886,[17] (Opens in a new window) following the discovery of gold, on what had been a farm. Due to the extremely large gold deposits found along the Witwatersrand (Opens in a new window),[18] (Opens in a new window) within ten years, the population had grown to over 100,000 inhabitants. A separate city from the late 1970s until 1994, Soweto (Opens in a new window) is now part of the Greater Johannesburg metropolitan area. An acronym for "South-Western Townships", Soweto was organised initially as a collection of nondescript settlements on the outskirts of the city, populated mostly by African labourers working in the gold mining industry. Soweto, although eventually incorporated into Johannesburg, had been explicitly separated as a residential area for blacks only—no whites allowed—who were not permitted to live in other "white-designated" areas of Johannesburg. Another region, Lenasia (Opens in a new window), is predominantly populated by English-speaking Indo-South Africans (people of Indian (Opens in a new window) and South Asian (Opens in a new window) descent). These areas were, in previous decades, designated as non-white areas, in accordance with the segregationist policies of the time—known as apartheid (Opens in a new window). It would go on to be one of the host cities of the official tournament of the 2010 FIFA World Cup (Opens in a new window)—and it hosted the final (Opens in a new window).

The metropolis (Opens in a new window) is an alpha global city (Opens in a new window), as listed by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (Opens in a new window). In 2019, the population of the city of Johannesburg was 5 635 127, making it the most populous city (Opens in a new window) in South Africa.[6] (Opens in a new window) In the same year, the population of metro Johannesburg's urban agglomeration (Opens in a new window) was put at 8 000 000.[6] (Opens in a new window) Land area of the municipal city (1,645 km2 or 635 sq mi) is large in comparison with those of other major cities, resulting in a moderate population density of 2,364 per square kilometre (6,120/sq mi).
