"The ghost town was once the Consolidated Diamond Mines headquarters.  However, the slump in diamond sales after WWI and the discovery of richer pickings at Oranjemund ended its heyday and by 1956, the town was totally deserted.  Some buildings have been restored, but many have been invaded by the dunes." --Lonely Planet Namibia
