Munsieville grew out of the informal settlements inhabited by mine labourers on the outskirts of the original mining town of Krugersdorp.
The story of Munsieville began on 15 December 1905, when it was gazetted that the piece of land to the north west of Krugersdorp near District Township was to be used as a "native location".
Years later the current township of Munsieville was demarcated and formal township housing was erected.
