History

Pōtatau Te Wherowhero was formally selected as king by a conference of chiefs of the Māori tribes held at Pūkawa in April 1857 and was crowned during elaborate ceremonies held at his marae in Ngāruawāhia in April 1858.

In 1906 Ngati Tūwharetoa and the Tongariro Timber Company struck an agreement for the construction of a 40 mile railway line from Kakahi (on the main trunk line) to Pūkawa [cite web
