Situated in the middle of the Maniototo Plains, Gimmerburn has been immortalised by acclaimed Central Otago artist Grahame Sydney in his painting, Family Trees - Gimmerburn Rd.
The name Gimmerburn means a young ewe, which is an apt name for this predominantly farming community noted for producing excellent fine wool. The Maniototo Irrigation Scheme commissioned in the early 1990s provided considerable security for finishing stock in the dry climate.
