Mossburn's greatest increase in economic activity came as a result of the construction of the [[Manapouri Power Station]]. The [[Mossburn Branch]] [[railway]] had terminated in the town since 1887 and was the closest railway terminus to the project. Previously, the line had been served by two [[mixed trains]] of both passengers and freight per week (only freight after 4 October 1937) from [[Lumsden, New Zealand|Lumsden]] on the [[Kingston Branch (New Zealand)|Kingston Branch]], but with the commencement of the Manapouri project as well as other government development programmes such as [[agricultural expansion]], one and sometimes two trains would arrive daily from [[Invercargill]]. By the start of the 1980s, these projects were complete and the railway closed on 13 December 1982. The Railway Hotel (built 1922) remains as one of the town's social centres, and subsequent old railway lines have been converted into the [[Around the Mountains Cycle Trail]]. |

Agriculture
[edit]
The town's main industry is agriculture, with many dairy, cattle, deer, and sheep farms nearby. The town was originally based situated around the four original stations; Centre Hill, Castlerock, West Dome and Dunrobin. Dairy farming has become the major industry of the area. Many large dairy farms have been established over the past ten years, converting from past sheep and other mixed farming activities.[citation needed] .
In the 1890s Mossburn farmer George Chewings developed a successful grass seed for the district’s infertile soil. Chewings fescue Festuca rubra subsp. commutata was an ideal constituent in lawn turfs around the world and was used on the playing surface Wimbledon and landing strips in World War 2.
Deer Capital
[edit]Mossburn lays claim to being the Deer Capital of New Zealand. This is based on the origins of the successful live deer recovery in the wild by helicopter and subsequent first deer farm in New Zealand being established in 1972. This was spurred on by the high venison prices at the time and the near epidemic population levels of red deer in the wild after their introduction earlier in the century. There still remains many deer farms in the community and the Silver Fern Farms venison processing plant which is a major employer for the community.
Rail
[edit]Mossburn's greatest increase in economic activity came as a result of the construction of the Manapouri Power Station. The Mossburn Branch railway had terminated in the town since 1887 and was the closest railway terminus to the project. Previously, the line had been served by two mixed trains of both passengers and freight per week (only freight after 4 October 1937) from Lumsden on the Kingston Branch, but with the commencement of the Manapouri project as well as other government development programmes such as agricultural expansion, one and sometimes two trains would arrive daily from Invercargill. By the start of the 1980s, these projects were complete and the railway closed on 13 December 1982. The Railway Hotel (built 1922) remains as one of the town's social centres, and subsequent old railway lines have been converted into the Around the Mountains Cycle Trail.
Cycle Way
[edit]Around the Mountains Cycle Trail was one of the New Zealand Cycle Trail Quick-Start projects, with $4 million being allocated to complete the Walter Peak to Mossburn stage. Stage One was opened by Deputy Prime Minister, Bill English, in a ceremony at nearby Lumsden on 1 November 2014. The trail begins in Kingston utilising old railway lines past Garston, Athol, Lumsden and Mossburn to then travels past the Mavora Lakes to end at Walter Peak.
Wind Farm
[edit]
During the later part of 2006 and early part of 2007, White Hill Wind Farm was constructed with 29 turbines each of 2.0 MW. In total, it can produce enough electricity to power 30,000 homes when at full capacity. This brought further local employment and financial benefits to the district. The wind farm was officially opened by the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Helen Clark, on 8 June 2007. This project has been greatly supported by the local community and created interest in New Zealand as an example of an alternative energy resource. Now yearly there is a mountain bike race through the wind farm, the White Hill Classic, that draws in mountain biking enthusiasts from the within region and around the country.
Education
[edit]Mossburn School is a contributing primary school for years 1 to 6[6] with a roll of 47 as of November 2024.[7] The school opened in 1887.[8][9]
