This geographical location is sometimes called the "Golden Triangle", or as the "maize Triangle", thanks to the cultivation of maize in the place. The 3 towns that define the triangle are roughly 60 km from each different. On July 1, 1915, the German Army became defeated at Otavi by means of South African troops; on June 9 they surrendered close by and signed the Khorab Peace Treaty.
