Pohangina

Pohangina is a small rural town in the Manawatu-Wanganui region of New Zealand. Pohangina is located in the beautiful Pohangina Valley just north of Ashhurst

The Town also consists of the 'Old School Reserve', camp grounds, church & native reserves.

The Maori place name has been translated into English as "The warming of the ovens at night", but an earlier English spelling, "Pouhangina", suggests "A newly cut post, still bleeding sap".
