Documenting the fascinating history of Wainuiomata with an ever growing collection of articles. Includes posts about the origins and pioneering period of Wainuiomata to historical sites and artefacts. Each article is dated, but the date represents the subject and not the date when the article was written. For example, when an article primarily focuses on a photograph captured in 1840 or discusses topics related to that specific year, the article will be time stamped with that year.
This approach provides readers with an experience, allowing them to traverse through history in chronological order and gain a precise understanding of how historical events and elements are situated within the broader timeline of Wainuiomata’s history. Nonetheless, when an article covers a lengthy period concerning its main subject, it will be time stamped based on the featured image, most recent image, or the date of the main subject.
