WESTERN BAY OF PLENTY, NEW ZEALAND

The Western Bay of Plenty is on the east coast of the north island of New Zealand, and includes the settlements of Katikati, Tauranga and Te Puke. Katikati was first settled by Europeans as an Ulster Plantation by George Vesey Stewart in 1875 and is at the northern end of the district. Tauranga in the centre of the Western Bay was originally referred to as Te Papa. It was settled by European traders in the 1830s and by CMS Missionaries from 1835. Tauranga is now New Zealands fifth largest city. Te Puke is known as the Kiwifruit Capital of the World The majority of New Zealands Kiwifruit is grown in the district. European settlement did not begin in the town until the early 1880s though European traders had been at Maketu since the 1830s.
