Rimu

Rimu is on the main road from Kennington to Edendale and Fortrose, at the intersection of a road from Long Bush railway station to the sawmill. It is about a mile from the railway station, and lies between the brick and tile works and flaxmill, and the bush where sawmilling is still conducted. The township is in the Waihopai riding of the county of Southland, and in the electoral district of Awarua, and had a population of fifty-six at the census of 1901. Agriculture and sheepfarming are carried on in the locality. The local school is situated at the cross roads, and has an average attendance of about sixty. There is a library at the schoolhouse.
