A History of Te Awamutu township in the Waikato 1884-1984.
Begins with a brief pre-European Maori history of the Te Awamutu area, the arrival of the first missionaries in the 1830s, before moving on to the land wars of the 1860s, which saw the township established around a militia outpost after Imperial troops withdraw when hostilities concluded. So there was much of interest before the Te Awamutu district was established in 1884, the centennial of which the book marks, with the borough council being promulgated in 1915. Following the land wars Te Awamutu soon became the centre for a prosperous and expanding agricultural area, which it remains today.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and maps. Maps on end papers.
