sspan class="mw-headline" id="History">History[edit]

Tyrau (M?ori: T?rau[a]) is a small city in the Waikato area of New Zealand's North Island, 50 kilometers east of Hamilton. There are 690 inhabitants in the city (census 2013)[4]. The Tirau is an important hub in New Zealand's state motorway system. A little further South of the townships is the crossroads of State Hwy 1 and State Hwy 5, where transport from Auckland and Hamilton is divided on State Hwy 1 to either Rotorua on SH 5 or SH 1 to Taupo and on to Napier, Palmerston North and Wellington.

The State Highway 27 branches off the State Highway 1 in the northern part of the city and offers a northbound itinerary to the Coromandel Peninsula and an alternate one to Auckland avoiding Hamilton. The Tirau is first and foremost a farmer's village, but in recent years it has started to use the revenues from an important intersection point.

Tirau, then Oxford, was initially designed as a large Waikato metropolitan area in the nineteenth century,[5] but planning was altered after the Rose business had purchased large areas in the area with the aim of generating large yields when there was high market pressure. Later Oxford became a country services centre and in 1896 was renamed Tirau.

Tyrau has made a name for itself as a target for antique shops, collectors' pieces and other products in niches. During 2005/06, the District Council of South Waikato[6], on the instructions of the Tirau Station, worked together with the municipality on the development of a conceptual design for the Tirau of the Future. Tiraus Transformations has been a successful ten-year effort, which has been linked to the Local Government Act 2002[7], with a focus on four areas of prosperity: society, the economy, the environment and culture.

Today the city is a well-known touristic station and is characterized by many works of artwork made of tin. Many of the stores and the churches have sculpture made of tin and two large houses are made entirely of this stone; the information center in the form of a huge hound and the adjacent building of rams and sheep[18][19] - Tirau was given the name " Capital of the world of tin corrugations".
