Aaron Ayers (1836 – 16 September 1900) came to Christchurch from England as a newly married man in his mid 20s.
•
Upon his arrival, he built a house at 290 Riverlaw Terrace in Opawa (these days a suburb of Christchurch).
•
He was elected Mayor of Christchurch in 1885 unopposed, and was re-elected a year later in the most keenly contested mayoral election thus far, narrowly beating Charles Louisson.
The Mayor and Mayor-elect, Charles Hulbert and Aaron Ayers, ceremoniously laid the first rail on 26 November 1885 at Latimer Square.
