  Tirau - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tirau is a small town of approximately 800 people in the Waikato region of the North Island of New Zealand, 50 kilometres southeast of Hamilton.
Tirau is primarily a farming town but in recent years has begun to exploit the income that comes from being on a major road.
In the 1800s Tirau, then Oxford, was originally planned as a large-scale city for the Waikato, however plans were changed after the entrepreneurial Rose family bought up large volumes of land in the region, with the intention of making large returns when it came of high demand.
