    • Opsomming: Pretoria is aangelê om te voorsien in die Oorvaalse gemeenskap se behoefte aan 'n plek waar Volksraadsvergaderings en kerklike byeenkomste gehou kon word. Op 27 Julie 1857 is 'n vergadering gehou waarop Pretoria se dorpsregulasies opgestel is. In daardie stadium het daar reeds verskeie geboue op die terrein wat vandag as Kerkplein bekend is, gestaan. Op 27 Mei 1856 het die Volksraad in die huis van Hendrik Vermeulen gesit, en op 22 Februarie 1857 is die eerste kerk ingewy. Die Vermeulens was een van die eerste families wat hulle in Pretoria gevestig bet. Vermeulenstraat roep die aandeel wat hierdie familie in die aanlê van Pretoria gehad het in herinnering.
