'''Otūmoetai''' is a suburb of the city of [[Tauranga]] in the [[Bay of Plenty]] region of [[New Zealand]]. |
|||
The Otūmoetai peninsula includes both the Otūmoetai suburb, and the neighbouring suburbs of [[Matua, New Zealand|Matua]] and [[Bellevue, New Zealand|Bellevue]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
The name is claimed to translate to "Peaceful Waters" from Maori to English, as the Matua Saltmarsh and [[Tauranga Harbour]] borders Otūmoetai. The New Zealand [[Ministry for Culture and Heritage]] gives a translation of "place where the tide stands still as if asleep" for ''Ōtǖmoetai''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://nzhistory.govt.nz/culture/maori-language-week/1000-maori-place-names |title=1000 Māori place names|publisher=New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage|date=6 August 2019}}</ref> |
|||
Before the 1950s Otūmoetai was largely orchards and farms but then houses started to be built in Brookfield, Otūmoetai Central and Pillans Point. Following this the suburb started to take shape and in the 1990s the last pieces of land left in the suburb were developed into housing. |
|||
In the 21st century, the suburb has gone through intensification with the building of apartments. |
