On 9 January he recorded "Our path to-day was sometimes along the edge of a low cliff, sometimes along the beach, till we approached Oamaru point, where it turned inland, and crossed a low range of hills, from which we looked over an extensive plain Towards the afternoon, we ascended a range of hills called Pukeuri, separating this plain from another more extensive.

Thomson surveyed the place as a town in , and the Otago Provincial government declared "hundreds" there on 30 November The building of this breakwater was influential in the development of new forms of crane.
With the development of pastoralism and the associated frozen-meat industry having its historical origins in New Zealand just south of the town at Totara, Oamaru flourished. The locally plentiful limestone Oamaru stone lent itself to carving and good designers, such as Thomas Forrester and his son J. Forrester — , and craftsmen utilised it.
By the time of the depression of the s Oamaru had become the "best built and most mortgaged town in Australasia".

With the closure of the port and the New Zealand economy stalled, Oamaru found itself hard hit.
In response it started to re-invent itself, becoming one of the first New Zealand towns to realise its built heritage was an asset. A public art museum, the Forrester Gallery whose first curator in was Thomas Forrester , opened in in R. Lawson 's neo-classical Bank of New South Wales building.
Restoration of other buildings also took place. The Oamaru Whitestone Civic Trust was formed in with a vision of redeveloping the original commercial and business district of Oamaru's Harbour and Tyne Streets, and work began on restoring the historic precinct beside the port, perhaps the most atmospheric urban area in New Zealand.

David Sewell played one test match for the New Zealand cricket team. Many public buildings use as their construction material the local limestone quarried especially near Weston and known as Oamaru stone. The Victorian precinct in southern part of Oamaru's main commercial district ranks as one of New Zealand's most impressive streetscapes [16] [17] due to the many prominent 19th century buildings constructed from this material. Several key historic buildings in the area centered around Harbour Street and the lower Thames Street, Itchen Street and Tyne Street have been preserved by the Oamaru Whitestone Civic Trust [18] as part of a historic precinct.
The great palladian St Patrick's Basilica is also a fine example in white Oamaru stone. The Victorian theme has been embraced by local shops and galleries in this part of Oamaru in terms of shopfittings and decor. In August Oamaru made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest gathering of steampunks in the world, a term that was coined in the s and is based on imagining inventions the Victorians might have created for the modern world.
