Taihape is a rural supply town and was at its peak during the 1960s when it was a bustling railway town and transport hub for the surrounding farming community.

In recent years with the advent of major tourist attractions Taihape is now experiencing an upturn in local commerce. Its location on the North Island Main Trunk Railway and on State Highway 1 has ensured its economic survival as a key stopping point for weary and hungry travellers.

For most New Zealanders, Taihape is a "one-horse" town on the main highway ideal as a stopover for weary travellers going north or south. By far it's biggest claim to fame is as the home of the annual Gumboot Day, which occurs on the first Tuesday after Easter. Gumboot day was first celebrated on Tuesday 9 April 1985.
