The Farm is traversed by the old ox wagon path linking Lüderitz with Namibias' interior. As early as 1900 Tiras was known to transport drivers as a reliable watering place, which members of the German colonial forces later also made use of. Since 1930 Tiras has been utilized as a farm for livestock breeding.

Relics from the early history of man can be seen on the farm in the form of bushman paintings, grating stones, tools and pottery shards.
