Orange Free State Province was one of the four provinces of South Africa from 1910-1994.
Its predecessor was the Orange River Colony.
In 1994 it was dissolved. Its borders were largely conterminous with those of the modern Free State Province.

Your dress on the rug,
And you in my bed,
Sweet present of the present,
