===New Zealand Wars–Tauranga Campaign===
The [[Tauranga Campaign]] took place in and around Tauranga from 21 January to 21 June 1864, during the [[New Zealand Wars]]. The Battle of Gate Pa is the best known.
====The Battle of Gate Pa====
The [[Tauranga Campaign#Battle of Gate Pā|Battle of Gate Pā]] was an attack on the well fortified [[Pā]] and its Māori defenders on 29 April 1864 by British forces made up of approximately 300 men of the 43rd Regiment and a naval contingent. The British casualties were 31 dead (including 10 officers), and 80 wounded - the single most devastating loss of life suffered by the British military in the whole of the New Zealand Wars. The Māori defenders abandoned the Pā during the night with casualties estimated at 25 dead and an unknown number of wounded.<ref name="cowan42">{{cite book| last = Cowan| first = James| author-link = James Cowan (New Zealand writer)| title = The New Zealand Wars: A History of the Maori Campaigns and the Pioneering Period, Vol. 1, 1845–1864| publisher = RNZ Government Printer| year = 1922| location = Wellington| chapter = 42, Gate Pa and Te Ranga| chapter-url = http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Cow01NewZ-c42.html}}</ref>

==Geography==
Tauranga is located around a large harbour that extends along the western Bay of Plenty, and is protected by [[Matakana Island]] and the extinct volcano of [[Mount Maunganui (mountain)|Mauao]] (Mount Maunganui). [[Ngamuwahine River]] is located 19 kilometres southwest of Tauranga.
[[File:Street in Tauranga, 1924. ATLIB 296372.png|thumb|View down The Strand from the intersection of Harington St in 1924, including Tauranga Hotel and the Farmers' Union Trading Company buildings]]
Tauranga and the [[Bay of Plenty]] are situated along a faultline and so experience (infrequent) seismic activity. There are a few [[volcanoes]] around the area (mainly dormant). The most notable of these are [[Whakaari/White Island|White Island]] and Mauao, nicknamed "The Mount" by locals.
Tauranga is roughly the [[antipodes|antipode]] of [[Jaén, Spain|Jaén]], Spain.
==Climate==
Tauranga has an [[oceanic climate|oceanic or maritime temperate]] climate. It can also be described as [[subtropical]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.niwa.co.nz/education-and-training/schools/resources/climate/overview/map_north|title=Northern New Zealand|publisher=[[NIWA]]|access-date=14 May 2014|archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/65rtmofRj?url=http://www.niwa.co.nz/education-and-training/schools/resources/climate/overview/map_north|archive-date=2 March 2012|url-status=live}}</ref>
During the summer months the population swells as holidaymakers descend on the city, especially along the popular white coastal surf beaches from [[Mount Maunganui]] to [[Papamoa]].

==Demographics==
In 1976 Tauranga was a medium-sized urban area with a population of around 48,000. However, the completion of a harbour bridge in 1988 brought Tauranga and The Mount closer (they amalgamated in 1989) and re-energised the economies of both parts of the enlarged city.
By 1996 Tauranga's population had grown to 82,092 and by 2006 it had reached 103,635.<ref>Geonames Database [http://www.travelsradiate.com/oceania/new-zealand/tauranga/2208032 "Region information page"], ''travelsradiate'', 2010, accessed 2 January 2011.</ref>

Tauranga's rapid growth has continued unabated, and by the time of the [[2018 New Zealand census]] its population had reached 136,713, a dramatic increase of 21,924 people (19.1%) since the previous [[2013 New Zealand census|2013 census]] only five years earlier. With continuing growth it has now surpassed the Napier-Hastings area to become New Zealand's fifth-largest city.
In 2018 there were 50,442 households. There were 65,868 males and 70,845 females, giving a sex ratio of 0.93 males per female.

Figures may not add up to the total due to rounding.
Ethnicities were 81.7% European/Pākehā, 18.2% Māori, 2.9% Pacific peoples, 7.6% Asian, and 2.1% other ethnicities. People may identify with more than one ethnicity.
The percentage of people born overseas was 21.7, compared with 27.1% nationally.
Although some people objected to giving their religion, 50.8% had no religion, 35.5% were Christian, and 7.1% had other religions.
Of those at least 15 years old, 21,570 (19.8%) people had a bachelor or higher degree, and 18,957 (17.4%) people had no formal qualifications. The median income was $31,600.

The city lies in the north-western corner of the [[Bay of Plenty]], on the south-eastern edge of [[Tauranga Harbour]]. The city extends over an area of {{convert|168|km2}}, and encompasses the communities of [[Bethlehem, New Zealand|Bethlehem]], on the south-western outskirts of the city; [[Greerton]], on the southern outskirts of the city; Matua, west of the central city overlooking Tauranga Harbour; Maungatapu; [[Mount Maunganui]], located north of the central city across the harbour facing the Bay of Plenty; [[Otūmoetai]]; [[Papamoa]], Tauranga's largest suburb, located on the Bay of Plenty; Tauranga City; [[Tauranga South]]; and [[Welcome Bay]].

==History==
===Settlement===

===New Zealand Wars–Tauranga Campaign===
The [[Tauranga Campaign]] took place in and around Tauranga from 21 January to 21 June 1864, during the [[New Zealand Wars]]. The Battle of Gate Pa is the best known.
====The Battle of Gate Pa====
The [[Tauranga Campaign#Battle of Gate Pā|Battle of Gate Pā]] was an attack on the well fortified [[Pā]] and its Māori defenders on 29 April 1864 by British forces made up of approximately 300 men of the 43rd Regiment and a naval contingent. The British casualties were 31 dead (including 10 officers), and 80 wounded - the single most devastating loss of life suffered by the British military in the whole of the New Zealand Wars. The Māori defenders abandoned the Pā during the night with casualties estimated at 25 dead and an unknown number of wounded.<ref name="cowan42">{{cite book| last = Cowan| first = James| author-link = James Cowan (New Zealand writer)| title = The New Zealand Wars: A History of the Maori Campaigns and the Pioneering Period, Vol. 1, 1845–1864| publisher = RNZ Government Printer| year = 1922| location = Wellington| chapter = 42, Gate Pa and Te Ranga| chapter-url = http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Cow01NewZ-c42.html}}</ref>

==Geography==
Tauranga is located around a large harbour that extends along the western Bay of Plenty, and is protected by [[Matakana Island]] and the extinct volcano of [[Mount Maunganui (mountain)|Mauao]] (Mount Maunganui). [[Ngamuwahine River]] is located 19 kilometres southwest of Tauranga.
[[File:Street in Tauranga, 1924. ATLIB 296372.png|thumb|View down The Strand from the intersection of Harington St in 1924, including Tauranga Hotel and the Farmers' Union Trading Company buildings]]
Tauranga and the [[Bay of Plenty]] are situated along a faultline and so experience (infrequent) seismic activity. There are a few [[volcanoes]] around the area (mainly dormant). The most notable of these are [[Whakaari/White Island|White Island]] and Mauao, nicknamed "The Mount" by locals.
Tauranga is roughly the [[antipodes|antipode]] of [[Jaén, Spain|Jaén]], Spain.
==Climate==
Tauranga has an [[oceanic climate|oceanic or maritime temperate]] climate. It can also be described as [[subtropical]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.niwa.co.nz/education-and-training/schools/resources/climate/overview/map_north|title=Northern New Zealand|publisher=[[NIWA]]|access-date=14 May 2014|archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/65rtmofRj?url=http://www.niwa.co.nz/education-and-training/schools/resources/climate/overview/map_north|archive-date=2 March 2012|url-status=live}}</ref>
During the summer months the population swells as holidaymakers descend on the city, especially along the popular white coastal surf beaches from [[Mount Maunganui]] to [[Papamoa]].

==Demographics==
In 1976 Tauranga was a medium-sized urban area with a population of around 48,000. However, the completion of a harbour bridge in 1988 brought Tauranga and The Mount closer (they amalgamated in 1989) and re-energised the economies of both parts of the enlarged city.
By 1996 Tauranga's population had grown to 82,092 and by 2006 it had reached 103,635.<ref>Geonames Database [http://www.travelsradiate.com/oceania/new-zealand/tauranga/2208032 "Region information page"], ''travelsradiate'', 2010, accessed 2 January 2011.</ref>
