History

The suburb was founded in 1939 and borders Louis Botha Avenue. It was surveyed around 1912 and developed from 1921 on land originally on the farm Klipfontein. The suburb's land was owned by Ockert Jacobus van Wyk and was named after his wife Mary. The suburb consists mainly of businesses and a small number of houses. The suburb is also the home of Maryvale College, a Catholic primary and high school formed in the same year as the suburb though the red bricked church on the grounds was built a year earlier.
