There are two theories as to why the town is named Arrowtown. One is that the river behind the town flows swiftly like an arrow.
There has been a fire station on the current site since 1890. The hand drawn hose reel was used until the 1940’s.
The discoverer of gold in the Arrow river was a shepherd named Jack Tewa or Maori Jack. He also won the Royal Humane medal for saving a man from drowning in Lake Wakatipu.
They used to sell Morphine in the local drug store. That was back in the goldmining days of course!
Australia’s first saint, Sister Mary MacKillop visited Arrowtown in 1897 and set up a Catholic School. Part of this school can still be visited today.
Millbrook Resort is named after Mill Farm on which it sits. Mill farm was established by the Butel family who came from Normandy.
