History

[edit]

Pre-European history

[edit]

Okuratope Pā was situated here and was the home to chief Te Hotete (father of Hongi Hika) of the Ngai Tawake hapū in the late 18th-early 19th centuries. A major disturbance took place here in 1800, when an attacking Ngare Raumati war party from Rāwhiti murdered and ate chief Te Maoi's wife, Te Auparo as well as their daughter, Te Karehu. This led to revenge attacks, which lasted over two decades; and resulted in the comprehensive defeat of the Ngare Raumati and the conquest of their lands by Ngāpuhi (including Te Maoi and Te Auparo's three chiefly sons; Te Wharerahi, Rewa, and Moka Te Kainga-mataa.

European settlement

[edit]

Te Waimate Mission was the fourth mission station established in New Zealand, and the first settlement inland from the Bay of Islands.[1] The members of the Church Missionary Society (CMS) appointed to establish the mission were the Rev. William Yate and lay members Richard Davis, George Clarke and James Hamlin.[2]

The first European wedding in New Zealand was conducted on 11 October 1831 at the St. John the Baptist Church, when William Gilbert Puckey (26), son of a Missionary carpenter, William Puckey, married Matilda Elizabeth Davis (17), second daughter of the Missionary Rev. Richard Davis.[2][3]

During the Flagstaff War (1845-1846) casualties of the Battle of Ōhaeawai were buried in the church yard of Church of St John the Baptist,[4] including Captain Grant of the 58th Regiment and Lieutenant George Phillpotts of HMS Hazard. The mission station was used as the headquarters for the British army, after which the mission lost support among Māori.[4] The mission station gradually fell into disrepair and the buildings were subsequently put up for sale. Today the only remnant on the site is the house originally occupied by George Clarke, which is preserved by Heritage New Zealand as a museum.[5]

Modern history

[edit]

The existing St. John the Baptist Church at Waimate North was built in 1870 and 1871.[1][6]

Waimate North Christian School closed in 2005.[7]

Marae

[edit]

The local Tauwhara Marae and Te Rangiawhiowhio meeting house is a traditional meeting ground for the Ngāpuhi hapū of Ngāi Tāwake, Ngāti Hineira, Ngāti Rēhia, Ngāti Tawake ki te Tuawhenua and Whānautara.[8][9]

In October 2020, the Government committed $500,000 from the Provincial Growth Fund to upgrade the marae, creating 29 jobs.[10]
