The History of the Districts: Makikihi - Otaio - Hunter - Hook

The History of the Districts: Makikihi - Otaio - Hunter - Hook Written & Compiled Bill Washington

“The Makikihi River ran full time, now it’s just a flood river. Coach accommodation was built on the north bank of the river, then a hotel . Makikihi started to grow as the centre of the district.”

Calling on a range of sources, this book starts with early Māori history in the area, then well-heeled immigrants from Britain who established or took up extensive stations.
