Pretoria was established by President Marthinus Wessel Pretorius in 1855. The initial full designation of the city was Pretoria Philadelphia ('the brotherhood of Pretoria') and it was not named after M.W. Pretorius, but after his brother Andries. In December 2000, the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality was established. The metropolitan authority was formed from thirteen city councils that were amalgamated. The hub of Pretoria has always been Church Square, although it was initially called Market Square. This was where the first church was built. It was a mud-walled building. It was replaced by a much grander structure after it burnt down in 1882. Open markets were regularly held in the Square. An Englishman, Albert Broderick, established himself as shopkeeper. He was christened Albertus Broodryk, by his Afrikaans friends and customers. He also ran the community's first bar, the 'Hole-in-the-Wall'. The geography of Pretoria is dominated by three parallel west-east quartzite ridges, which are the result of millions of years of erosion. The northern ridge is called the Magaliesberg, south of the Magalies is a ridge called the Daspoortrand, the Silverton ridge and the Bronberge. The most southern ridge consists of the Skurweberg, Kwaggasrant, Langeberge, Schanskop, Klapperkop and Waterkloof Ridge.
