Waimate is a historic town located in the South Canterbury region of New Zealand's South Island. Originally established in the 1870s, it was one of the first inland towns in South Canterbury and developed around the timber industry that flourished in the area's dense native forests. The town has preserved much of its colonial heritage, with several historic buildings still standing along its main streets.
Waimate is known for its strong agricultural heritage, particularly dairy farming and crop cultivation. The area is also famous for its population of Bennett's wallabies, introduced from Australia in the late 19th century.
The town maintains a rich cultural life through its local museums, historical societies, and community events that celebrate both its Māori and European heritage.
