A Rich Historical Legacy
Dunedin has a rich history with human settlement dating back to 1250 to 1300 AD. Māori settlements show archaeological evidence of Moa hunting, fishing, various forms of cultivation, and the construction of fortified settlements. This deep-rooted history showcases the resilience and resourcefulness of the early inhabitants.
The Arrival of European Settlers
The beauty of the area is unquestionable, and it is no wonder that when word spread from Lieutenant James Cook's adventures here in 1770, European settlers began to travel and settle with dreams of building the new Edinburgh! The picturesque landscapes and favorable conditions made Dunedin an attractive destination for those seeking a fresh start.
Blossoming Entrepreneurship
As the European settlers explored the Otago region, the entrepreneurial spirit blossomed with businesses being created all over the Otago region, stimulated by forestry, construction, agricultural activities, and, of course, the mighty gold rush! As the population grew, so did the need for infrastructure. Dunedin blossomed with the creation of numerous schools, a world-class university, vocational training organizations, banks, hospitals, and sporting complexes.
