Hatfield is a suburb in Pretoria, South Africa with a high density of students as well as student accommodation due to its close proximity to the University of Pretoria's main campus. The suburb was proclaimed on a portion of land previously belonging to Koedoespoort, which was owned by Lourens Cornelius Bronkhorst in the nineteenth century. An heir to Bronkhorst's estate sold the farm in 1885 to the Wesleyan Methodist Society. The land was sold again in 1903, after the Second Boer War. It was purchased by the Colonial Secretary of the Transvaal, Patrick Duncan. The suburb is named after Hatfield House, an estate in Hertfordshire, England that belonged to William Palmer, 2nd Earl of Selborne, who became Governor of the Transvaal in 1905.
