History of our City
Dunedin was born out of gold and reached maturity through industry and educational excellence. From New Zealand's largest city by population, to the largest city by area, Dunedin has always held a prominent position in our country.
The city has always recognised the importance of its heritage and this can be found in the original architecture and prominence of memorials both to our fallen soldiers and to our pioneering forebears.
We have retained many features of our past, from old tram tracks to Pixie Town. While many of the city's features caused varying degrees of controversy at the time of their inception, they have with patience and constant awareness of changing needs, become much-loved and well recognised city amenities.
These pages detail some of the changes that have taken place in our city as well as many of the landmark features that chronicle our history.
