Khomeesdrif derives its name from a nearby crossing or ‘drift’ in the Riviersonderend River. The last persons to cross the river here by horse carriage, were Oom Fanie de Kock and his daughter, Miemie in 1904. The very next day, the then new wooden bridge was opened, later followed by the current day Bokrivier concete bridge.
