History

Eastern Māori included Rotorua and the Bay of Plenty, and the Poverty Bay area down to Gisborne. Originally the electorate extended down the East Coast and included the Wairarapa, but in 1954 the boundaries of Southern Māori were extended to include much of the East Coast of the North Island up to Napier and Wairoa in Hawkes Bay.

James Carroll held the seat from 1887 to 1893, but in 1893 he changed to the Gisborne seat and was replaced by Wi Pere who Carroll had defeated in 1887.

With MMP Eastern Māori was replaced by the Te Tai Rawhiti seat in 1996. Peter Tapsell who had represented Eastern Māori since 1981 was defeated when he stood for the new seat.
