Locals like their hometown for spectacular sunsets and jasmine in bloom brought to the city in spring. Tourists packed the city as it hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup, while businessmen flock for big money. But all travelers cannot escape the fact Johannesburg grew from rocky land to busy metropolis in little more than 100 years. Johannesburg began in 1886 when gold was found by the gold prospector George Harrison. It attracted gold hunters from throughout the world to relocate to the city. As a result of the gold rush, it took Johannesburg only three years to become the largest settlement in South Africa. Afterwards, the city was monopolized by several mining companies earning huge fortunes. Big money within the city led to the tensions between the oligarchs, the newcomers for gold to the area and the local government. This ended in the Anglo-Boer War and the area was taken over by the British.
