Midrand is located between Johannesburg and Pretoria, more specifically between Kyalami and Centurion. The area, which was largely made up of smallholdings on either side of the N1 motorway, has become heavily urbanised and developed over the last twenty years. Residential areas, office complexes, showrooms, warehouses and factories now make up its landscape. Business travelers and exhibitors will be interested in Gallagher Estate, the largest conference centre in South Africa.

Midrand was established as a municipality in 1981 in an area previously known as Halfway House due to its situation halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria. It ceased, however, to be a standalone municipality after the 1994 democratic elections and was incorporated into the Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality in 2000.
