Moved from Mauao - Mrcurly 12:42, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
The article would benefit greatly if someone added some information about the history mentioned (The first human settlement in the 13th century, the expelling of Ngamarama people, the battle of Kokowai, and the Ngapuhi incursion into the Bay of Plenty in the early part of the 19th century). Mrcurly 13:08, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
Article name
This should really be titled 'Mauao' rather than 'Mount Mauao', to be more accurate.
- According to New Zealand Geographic Placenames Database [1] the official name is Mount Maunganui (both for the hill and the suburb). Nurg 04:34, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- I agree that it should be moved to Mauao. I have never heard of it referred to as Mount Mauao, only as Mauao or Mount Maunganui, and as far as I'm aware Mauao is the favoured name for the mountain. I'm just about to move it. I'm also going to bold the text Mt Maunganui (possibly changing it to Mount Maunganui), since it is definitely an alternative name, and possible (as mentioned above) still the official name.
