Midrand is located in central Gauteng province in South Africa. Situated between Pretoria and Kyalami , Midrand is a part of the City of Johannesburg Municipality.

Established in an area called Halfway House due to its position between Pretoria and Johannesburg, it was initially as a municipality in 1981. But as the restructuring of the local government that saw the end of apartheid in 1994, it was no longer an independent town. In 2000, it was included in the City of Johannesburg Municipality. It became a part of the Region 2.

Although it is not an independent town, Midrand still stands for the suburbs around the N1 highway north of the Jukskei River up to the border with the City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality.
