Village in Waikato region, New Zealand
Marokopa from Mangatoa Rd, showing the mouth of the Marokopa River, the marae on the north bank and 418m Te Iringa beyond
Marokopa is a rural community in Waitomo District and Waikato region of New Zealand . It is located close to the coast between Awakino and Kawhia Harbour . The meshblock includes the coastal township of Marokopa, at the mouth of the Marokopa River , and the south side of the small village of Awamarino, about 10 km (6.2 mi ) upstream.[1]
The area was settled by forestry workers in the 19th century. It has been predominantly a farming locale since the early 20th century. In 1911 a large dairy factory was built,[2] which mainly made butter which was shipped to Auckland . The Awamarino factory was enlarged in 1932,[3] but closed in 1937.[4] A telephone link to Te Kūiti was completed in 1914[5] and a service car [6] ran on Tuesdays and Fridays from 1920.[7] The town also had a post office,[8] a flaxmill [9] and a school (1908[10] -1982).[11] The nearest school is now Piripiri,[12] 20 km (12 mi ) upstream.[13] There is a campground.[14]

Geology
[ edit ]
The coast between Marokopa and Kiritehere is accessible at low tide.[16] Along the few kilometres,[17] a succession of Late Triassic and Jurassic rocks are exposed. They are part of the western limb of the Kawhia Syncline , which extends north to the Hakarimatas [18] and have been described as the best Triassic sequence in the North Island.[19] The rocks are youngest at Marokopa (Aratauran ) and oldest to the south of Kiritehere (Otapirian ), where there is a large bed of monotis, one of the index fossils .[20]
Marae
[ edit ]
Marokopa Marae and Miromiro i te Pō meeting house are a meeting ground for the local Ngāti Maniapoto hapū of Ngāti Kinohaku , Te Kanawa and Peehi .[21] [22]
