Ohrigstad (Afrikaans for Ohrig city), formerly Andries Ohrig Stad,[3] is a small town to the north of Lydenburg in the Limpopo province, South Africa.

A fort was established by a group of Voortrekkers under the leadership of Andries Hendrik Potgieter with the help of a Dutch merchant Gregorius Ohrig.

The settlers arrived in 1845 and were soon afterwards decimated by malaria and forced to abandon the area.

The Voortrekker, Pieter Willem Prinsloo, who left the Cape between 20 June 1837 and the end of March 1838, registered a farm Dorenhoek in the Ohrigstad area on 16 March 1846.

[4] The Echo Caves are situated close to the town.
