The town lies in the North-Eastern Free State about 20km east of the N3, close to the Mpumalanga border. It is surrounded by a large farming district. Vrede was so named after a dispute between the the founding fathers about its name was settled amicably ("in peace"). The town was established in 1863 by European landowners of this area. Today Vrede finds itself at the hub of a 10 000 hectare region of agricultural plenty, including the Free State's largest stock fairs of maize wheat, mutton, wool, beef, dairy, products and poultry. The town is steeped in history. The frontage of the Dutch Reformed Church features a Burghers Memorial to fallen Boers and a garden to honour the British soldiers. The Great Trek Monument is a granite memorial erected in 1938, the centenary year of the Great Trek. A First World War Cannon may also be seen in the town. The town is equipped with all the basic requirements including an excellent SPAR bakery and a good selection of meat at reasonable prices. In fact, all prices of most commodities in the town seem to be reasonable! The banks have 24 hour ATM's and the folk are friendly and helpful.
