Lebowakgomo is a name that is derived from two Sepedi words: lebowa ('north') and kgomo ('cow'). Established in 1974, the town became the capital of the bantustan of Lebowa. In 1994 it was merged into South Africa, with the rest of Lebowa, when the homelands policy was abolished. (GPS coordinates: 24.3146 S, 29.5008 E).
