Edenville is a small farming town situated in the northern Free State province of South Africa.
The town is 48 km (30 mi) north-east of Kroonstad and 50 km (31 mi) south-west of Heilbron on the R34 road. It was established on the farms Erfdeel-Noord, Langland and Welgelegen in 1912, and attained municipal status in 1921. The name is assumed to refer to the biblical Garden of Eden, but this is uncertain.[2]
