历史
Oamaru was established in the 1850s as a port town, quickly becoming a hub for trade and agriculture due to its fertile land and access to the sea. The discovery of gold in nearby areas further boosted its growth, leading to the construction of many of the stunning limestone buildings that still stand today.
In the late 19th century, Oamaru became known for its thriving wool industry, which contributed to its wealth and development. Today, the town embraces its rich history while also fostering a vibrant arts community, making it a unique destination for visitors.
