Battle of Biddulphsberg: The site of this battle between Boer and British forces in 1900 is situated on the farm Biddulphsberg near Senekal. Two monuments now mark the place where 400 Boers overcame a superior force of 4 000 British soldiers.
Senekal was named after a fallen Boer Commander, Commandant-General Frederik Senekal, who was killed in the Basotho War in 1865. Although established earlier, the town was only acknowledged by the then Orange Free State House of Assembly in 1877. The town is laid out on the banks of the Sand River, a tributary of the Vaal River.
