Ōtautau calls itself the heart of Western Southland, a farming town in the foothills of the Longwood Range about 50km northwest of Invercargill. It began as a wagon stop on the route between Riverton and the Wakatipu goldfields and served for nearly a century as the administrative hub of Wallace County. Once dominated by sheep and the sawmills working timber off the Longwoods, it is now mixed sheep and dairy country, with the township still the service centre for the surrounding farms.
