A post office opened in 1907.[7] A creamery was running in 1911.[8] [9] A cheese factory opened in 1915,[10] and was still operating in 1932.[11] The stream bridge between Orini and Whitikahu was built in 1938.[12] By 1950 the Orini telephone exchange had 123 subscribers.[13]
The Mangawara area to the west was a Kauri gum digging area until 1983. It also had a creamery and a post office by 1910.[14] [15]
Te Hoe, to the north, had a school between 1912 and 1995.[16] It had a post office and store and still has a hall, which was built in 1957.[1] [14]
History
[ edit ]
From the 1600s: Ngati Koura and Ngati Wairere Waikai occupied the area, mainly for eel fishing .[17] An old waka was discovered in 1937.[18]
After the invasion of the Waikato , the area was confiscated in 1863[19] and cut up into lots for the military settlers, though deemed too swampy for occupation.[20]
Flax was milled in the area from 1890 until a 1908 fire and again from 1918.[17] A new Orini mill opened in 1936[21] and flax was still being grown in 1938, when there was another fire.[22] The drained peat has also caught fire from time to time.[23] [24]
Electricity came in 1928.[25] A hall was built[26] and a bus service to Hamilton, started in 1937[27] and was still running in 1964[28] and into the 1970s.[29]
Education
[ edit ]
Orini had a school by 1912.[30] It was replaced with Orini Combined School, formed from a merger of Orini, Te Hoe, Netherby and Mangawara schools.[5]
It is now a co-educational state primary school,[31] [32] with a roll of 89 as of February 2024.[33]
