Pahoia – Apata – Aongatete - the Government Acquisition and carve up of Māori Land - by Bob Scott

Date1864-1960DescriptionThis book follows the transformation of the Te Puna–Katikati district and its neighbouring blocks from the aftermath of the Gate Pā and Te Ranga battles through to the establishment of farms, roads, railways, schools, and small industries. It begins with the purchase of the Te Puna–Katikati Block, the creation of Māori reserves, and land grants to the 1st Waikato Militia, then moves through the early settlement of the Tawhitinui, Waipapa, and Apata blocks, including military grant areas, soldier settlements, and the development of key routes such as Esdaile Road and the Apata railway station. Later chapters trace the first farming families across Aongatete, the Work Road and Wright Road districts, and the communities that emerged on the Te Manaia Native Reserve from Matahui to Walker Road. The narrative concludes with local enterprises such as dairy factories, mining ventures, and rural schools, offering a continuous account of how land transactions, surveys, and successive waves of settlers shaped the western Bay of Plenty landscape.CreatorRobert Craig Scott
