ocals know that Tinwald is much more than just a place to drive through. In fact there is so much to see and do that you may not fit it all in to one day. It has a strong business heart and a rapidly growing population, and is full of the multi-cultural diversity that is part of the common make-up of the rapidly growing Mid Canterbury district. Many new families are drawn to the area for its promising and abundant lifestyle opportunities. Tinwald boasts high quality homes, a large retirement village, its own tavern, restaurant, school, motels and a shopping complex. There are a mix of shopping pleasures in Tinwald including a garden centre, fruit and vegetable shop, cafés, bakery and takeaway shops. There is also a medical centre, golf club, supermarket, petrol station, dairies, freight companies, speciality businesses and vehicle dealerships.
History
Tinwald was part of the original Lagmhor Run. It was flat, swampy and covered in manuka, matagouri and flax when its first settlers built their modest homes in the late 1870s. Until 1955 Tinwald was a township in its own right. It was run by its own town board and took great pride in its independence. As Tinwald grew, however, so too did the expectations of its residents. Across
the bridge Ashburton had a piped water supply, sealed roads and footpaths, and a sewerage system, while Tinwald did not. The town board found itself struggling to meet the costs for these expensive items, and in July 1954 a decision was made to amalgamate with Ashburton. Amalgamation ultimately laid the foundations for the Tinwald of today. It has become the place of choice for many people when it comes to living and lifestyles, the facilities available and for its proximity to Lake Hood.

The business heart of Tinwald lies in the block of shops in the centre of Archibald Street. More than 100 years ago, this same shopping complex had a blacksmith, general store, bakery and grocery, two carpenters and cabinet makers, a shoemaker, several grain stores, a hotel, saddler and wheelwright. Early Tinwald was a rural servicing town and the businesses in it met the needs of the rural community. Over time, the growth of Tinwald has fanned out and businesses have established themselves all along the main route and branched off its side roads. Tinwald is now home to some big name companies and is bursting with opportunity. Its community continues to grow and meet the needs of those both within the district and much further afield.
