Details

History: Founded in the 1860's following the discovery of gold nearby, Naseby retains it's gold-mining town heritage and history. It remains largely untouched and unspoilt despite the passage of over 140 years since it was established to service the gold miners who flocked to Central Otago to seek their fortunes. It has somehow survived as a real and truly authentic "Central" town, with an atmosphere and charm of yesteryear that really has to be experienced to be appreciated.
History: Naseby is steeped in History with it's pubs being the meeting place of miners, musterers, and townsfolk for generations. Today the legacy of this past is in the locals, and the forestry and farming community. Over the last 140 years Naseby has seen its share of interesting times and characters. Harsh living conditions in this barren and unyielding landscape have forged the indomitable and endearing character of the people who call Central their home. Spend a little time here and you will come to know and admire these gems of the Maniototo; the Nasebyites.
