History [ edit ]
Early history [ edit ]
The Ngāti Hako people traditionally had a pā (defensive settlement) in the area. The pā site was discovered in a swampy area in 1920 and many rare artefacts were discovered, but the site was not fully excavated until 1956.[2]
The Kopuarahi District was established in 1911.[3]
Modern history [ edit ]
The Kopuarahi Cheese Factory was built in 1916 to produce cheese from the milk of local dairy farms. When milk tankers began transporting milk to a dairy factory in Kerepehi in 1956, the building was converted into a community hall.[1] The hall is available for hire for private events.[4]
The Kopuarahi School Second World War Memorial flagstaff was erected in April 1947 to commemorate two local men, who were killed in World War II .[5]
A woman was critically injured, when her car was struck by a road sweeping truck in Kopuarahi in January 2012.[6]
A 4.3 magnitude quake was felt in Kopuarahi in September 2020.[7]
In 2021, Kopuarahi School reported increasing poverty among students.[8] The principal said a lack of food and basic supplies had affected student learning.[9]
Education [ edit ]
Kopuarahi School is a co-educational state primary school,[10] with a roll of 17 as of February 2024.[11] [12]
The school celebrated its 50th anniversary in 1967,[13] and marked its centenary in 2017.[14]
