Whangarei

Whangarei
(The waiting of Reipae)
Major City in Northland. The area and harbour was used as a staging place for Maori war parties on their way south. Much of the early city, which was a trading post, was built on reclaimed swampland. Kauri timber and gum was the major trading industry, soon followed by coal mining, wheat and dairy farming, shipbuilding and brick making. William Carruth was the first settler in 1839 followed three years after by Gilbert Mair who began the shipbuilding industry, which was a major means of transport in those days.
