Its composition is ascribed to successive <a href="/wiki/Geology" title="Geology">geological</a> processes over a very protracted history. Its <a href="/wiki/Quartzite" title="Quartzite">quartzites</a>, <a href="/wiki/Shale" title="Shale">shales</a>, <a href="/wiki/Chert" title="Chert">chert</a> and <a href="/wiki/Dolomite_(rock)" title="Dolomite (rock)">dolomite</a> were deposited as sediments in an inland basin on top of a 3 billion year old Archaean <a href="/wiki/Basement_(geology)" title="Basement (geology)">Basement</a> Complex, known as the <a href="/wiki/Kaapvaal_Craton" title="Kaapvaal Craton">Kaapvaal Craton</a>. This process of sedimentation lasted for about 300 million years. About 2 billion years ago, a massive upwelling of molten magma resulted in what is now known as the <a href="/wiki/Bushveld_Igneous_Complex" title="Bushveld Igneous Complex">Bushveld Igneous Complex</a>. The enormous weight of this intrusion depressed the sediments that lay beneath and tilted the sediments along the edges so that the broken <a href="/wiki/Escarpment" title="Escarpment">escarpments</a> faced outward and upward, and the gentler <a href="/wiki/Dip_slope" title="Dip slope">dip slopes</a> inward. During the same period, these sediments were fractured and <a href="/wiki/Intrusive_rock" title="Intrusive rock">igneous intrusions</a> of <a href="/wiki/Dolerite" class="mw-redirect" title="Dolerite">dolerite</a> filled the cracks. With the passage of time these intrusions eroded, especially on the dip slopes, forming deep kloofs or <a href="/wiki/Ravine" title="Ravine">ravines</a> providing rock-climbing potential to modern man. This large dog-leg-shaped area is now termed the <a href="/wiki/Transvaal_Basin" title="Transvaal Basin">Transvaal Basin</a> and includes the lofty escarpment of the Transvaal <a href="/wiki/Drakensberg" title="Drakensberg">Drakensberg</a> overlooking the <a href="/wiki/Lowveld" class="mw-redirect" title="Lowveld">Lowveld</a> in the eastern part of the country.

After accomplishing this task, Mzilikazi decided to break away from Shaka and found his own nation, the <a href="/wiki/Northern_Ndebele_people" title="Northern Ndebele people">Matabele</a>. As he feared an attack from Shaka if he returned home, he settled in the Magaliesberg region. </p><p>On 17 January 1837, after some <a href="/wiki/Voortrekkers" class="mw-redirect" title="Voortrekkers">Voortrekkers</a> had been attacked and killed by Mzilikazi's <a href="/wiki/Impi" title="Impi">impis</a>, they counter-attacked and, under the leadership of <a href="/wiki/Hendrik_Potgieter" title="Hendrik Potgieter">Hendrik Potgieter</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gerrit_Maritz" title="Gerrit Maritz">Gerrit Maritz</a>, and with the help of local Sotho-<a href="/wiki/Tswana_people" title="Tswana people">Tswana</a> chiefdoms, drove the Matabeles north across the <a href="/wiki/Limpopo_River" title="Limpopo River">Limpopo River</a>. Because the re-conquest of the region was a cooperative venture of the <a href="/wiki/Boer" class="mw-redirect" title="Boer">Boers</a> and the Sotho-Tswana against the Matabele, the Boers and Sotho-Tswana had friendly relations at the beginning of <a href="/wiki/History_of_South_Africa#Dutch_colonization_(1652–1815)" title="History of South Africa">white settlement</a>. These friendly relations are reflected in the name of the main Boer town, <a href="/wiki/Rustenburg" title="Rustenburg">Rustenburg</a> (<i>lit</i>. resting town), because it seemed to them that they would not have to engage in any more fighting against African communities. The Boers initially settled south of the Magaliesberg in the Highveld, leaving the Bushveld north of the Magaliesberg mostly to their Sotho-Tswana friends and allies; according to Sarah Heckford's memoir, <i>A Lady Trader in the Transvaal</i>, the Boers would move into the Bushveld to visit their Sotho-Tswana neighbors during the winter. According to oral testimony by Tswana headmen recorded around the turn of the 20th century, many individual Boers formed close friendships with prominent individual Tswana headmen and chiefs, especially for the purpose of forming hunting parties to gather ivory and other products from further north. Subsequently the Boers began settling in the valleys of the Magaliesberg Range and in the Bushveld north of the Magaliesberg, and turned the region into some of the most productive farmland in South Africa, while displacing their former allies, confining them to locations and reserves. </p><p>The area saw some heavy fighting during the Second <a href="/wiki/Second_Boer_War" title="Second Boer War">Anglo-Boer War</a>. The Boers, being extremely familiar with the mountains, used secret pathways across the mountains to launch <a href="/wiki/Guerrilla_warfare" title="Guerrilla warfare">guerrilla</a> attacks on the <a href="/wiki/British_soldiers" class="mw-redirect" title="British soldiers">British soldiers</a>. In response, the British forces built <a href="/wiki/Blockhouse" title="Blockhouse">blockhouses</a> on top of the mountains in order to restrict the movement of the Boer forces; ruins of these structures are still to be seen on the mountain. </p><p>Control of the Magaliesberg Mountain Range was of great importance to both the Boer and the British forces, especially the two routes between Pretoria and Rustenburg, which crossed it at Silkaatsnek and Kommandonek, respectively. As a result, many battles, such as the battles of Buffelspoort, <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Nooitgedacht" title="Battle of Nooitgedacht">Nooitgedacht</a> and Olifantsnek were fought in the area. </p><p>After the war, farms in the area were reoccupied and farming was resumed, <a href="/wiki/Tobacco" title="Tobacco">tobacco</a> and <a href="/wiki/Citrus" title="Citrus">citrus</a> being particularly successful. </p><p>In 1923 the <a href="/wiki/Hartbeespoort_Dam" title="Hartbeespoort Dam">Hartbeespoort Dam</a>, situated in one of the valleys of the range, was completed.
