TE PUKE, BAY OF PLENTY, NEW ZEALAND
Te Puke is on the east coast of the north island of New Zealand, 30 kms from Tauranga and 55 kms from Rotorua. Te Puke is the "Kiwifruit Capital of the World". The majority of New Zealand's Kiwifruit is grown in the district. European settlement did not begin in the town until the early 1880s though Europeans had been at Maketu since the 1830s.
The first book on the history of Te Puke and District since 1981 is now available.
Te Puke
Nga Tangata me Nga Wahi
People and Places
covers the area from Papamoa to Otamarakau to Ngawaro including Maketu,
Pukehina, Paengaroa and Pongakawa as well as Te Puke.
The book has 400 pages, is hard back and is indexed to over 3000 surnames. It includes the Lady Jocelyn passenger list, electoral rolls (including the rare 1908 Eastern Maori), first day school pupils, the Arawa members of the Armed Constabulary, Rolls of Honour, lots of photos and maps etc and covers the period from the arrival of the Te Arawa waka to 31 December 2006.
Available for NZD45.00 plus postage and packing
(usually $10.00 (double bubble wrapped) within New Zealand)

I would like to say thank you for producing a great book. I got one for my husband for Xmas, and he has sat for hours reading through it. Great for the real Te Pukeite. Comment from Trade Me.
At present (November 2008)I am researching for a book on the Settlers, Pioneers and Families of Te Puke and District for the period 1830 to 1910. If I have not contacted you please contact me as I may have information to share with you.
