Lauder was named after the Scottish Border town of Lauder
in Berwickshire by surveyor J.T. Thomson.
When the Central Otago Rail Line reached Lauder in 1904, Lauder became populated as a railway town. Lauder was also the site that ballast was quarried for use as foundations underneath railway sleepers. A school soon became established here and a town was born. Today Lauder provides a number of accommodation options for Otago Central Rail Trail travelers including the original school, hotel and store! . source: http://www.visit-centralotago.co.nz/html/lauder_central_otago.html Information Centres: |
