Cromwell is located on the shores of Lake Dunstan. It was established during the Otago gold rush of 1862. As the gold was depleted, Cromwell became the service center for an extensive farming and stone fruit growing area. The stone fruit industry is commemorated with a giant sculpture of the fruit, which was built in 1990.
