Pukekohe is a town in the Auckland Region of the North Island of New Zealand. Located at the southern edge of the Auckland Region, between the southern shore of the Manukau Harbour and the mouth of the Waikato River. The hills of Pukekohe and nearby Bombay Hills form the natural southern limit of the Auckland region. Pukekohe is located within the political boundaries of the Auckland Council, following the abolition of the Franklin District Council on 1 November 2010.

With a population of 28,000 (June 2024), ^[2] Pukekohe is the 24th largest urban area in New Zealand, and the third largest in the Auckland Region behind Auckland itself and Hibiscus Coast.

Geology

Pukekohe and the surrounding areas are a section of the South Auckland volcanic field, which erupted between 550,000 and 1,600,000 years ago. ^[3]

History

Pukekohe, c.1910

Māori history

Tāmaki Māori peoples settled the wider area in the 13th or 14th centuries. ^{[4] [5]} The traditional Māori name for Pukekohe Hill, Pukekohekohe ("Hill of Kohekohe") refers to Dysoxylum spectabile , also known as the New Zealand mahogany tree, which used to be a prominent part of the native bush on in the area. ^{[6] [7]} The area was important to Waiohua tribes including Ngāti Tamaoho, Ngāti Te Ata and Te Ākitai, due to the strategic views from the hill and the high quality soil. The northern slopes of the hill were home to some of the largest croplands (māra kai) for the Tāmaki Māori people who settled here. ^[6]

Much of the population around Pukekohe migrated south during the Musket Wars in the 1820s due to the threat from Ngāpuhi and other northern tribes, ^[6] gradually returning from the mid-1830s. ^{[8] [9]}

In modern times, the two main iwi of the area are Ngāti Tamaoho and Ngāti Te Ata. Waikato Tainui has a strong presence.^{[ citation needed ]}

European settlement and the New Zealand Wars

The Crown purchased the Pukekohe block ^[10] on 7 December 1843, for £150 in cash and £170 worth of goods ^{[a] [11]} The Crown established Te Awa nui o Taikehu, a reserve the Crown created for Te Ākitai Waiohua during land sales around modern-day Pukekohe. ^[6] Some of this land was accidentally sold to settlers. The Crown would compensate the settlers and return land to local iwi. ^[10] By 1856, European settlements had been well established in the north and western reaches of Pukekohe. ^[7] On 9 July 1863, due to fears of the Māori King Movement, Governor George Grey proclaimed that all Māori living to the South of Auckland needed to swear loyalty to the Queen and give up their weapons. Most people refused due to strong links to Tainui, leaving for the south before the Government's Invasion of the Waikato. Small numbers of people remained, in order to tend to their farms and for ahi kā (land rights through continued occupation). ^[12]

A major battle of the Waikato War was fought at Pukekohe East on 14 September 1863. The battle involved 11 armed settlers, who were converting the Pukekohe East church into a redoubt and approximately 200–300 Māori, mainly from the Waikato area. Although surprised and severely outnumbered, the settlers held off the Māori war party until troops from the 18th Royal Irish Regiment arrived. No settlers were killed or injured while 30 Māori were killed with an unknown number wounded. 6 bodies were found near the church and 24 were later found buried in the bush. The church still exists today and the bullet holes are still visible. ^{[7] [13]} According to Te Huia Raureti, tribes that took part in the raid came from Ngāti Maniapoto, some other upper Waikato tribes, and Ngāti Pou of lower Waikato. On the even of the raid on Pukekohe East, a war council had ordered members of the taua (war party) to avoid looting the property of settlers. Despite this order, future Ngāti Maniapoto chief Wahanui Huatare and several other members raided a settler's house. This angered other members of the war party, who regarded it as a bad omen. ^[13] Nearly the entire Pukekohe area was abandoned apart from military outposts. Isolated attacks occurred as late as November 1863 after the Battle of Rangiriri. ^[14]

The New Zealand Government confiscated large tracts of land in the aftermath of the invasion in 1865, after which the town of Pukekohe was established, on the northern slopes of its namesake, Pukekohe Hill. ^{[6] [15]} In January 1865, the New Zealand Government's Executive Council designated Pukekohe as one of the eight districts in the Waikato region to be confiscated, which amounted to a total of 577,590 acres. ^[16] On 26 April 1865, the Native Land Court awarded £5,444 in compensation to the Ngatipari tribe, a branch of the Ākitai people, for a block of land known as the "Pukekohe Reserve" or "Pukekohe bloc," which had been confiscated during the Waikato War. The Ngatipari claimants successfully argued that they had not opposed the Crown during the Waikato War and established their claim to the land on the basis of cultivation and ancestral burial grounds. ^[17]

Following the Waikato War the government wished to populate the area around Pukekohe. To do this they offered migrants from Britain and Cape Colony 10 and 5 acres respectively to settle in the area. Over 3,000 immigrants came from Britain and roughly 1,200 from Cape Colony. ^{[18] : 30}

Due to the clearing of dense bush in the Pukekohe area, large areas of fertile, volcanic land became available for growing crops. ^[7] While onions and potatoes were first grown in Pukekohe as early as the 1850s, large-scale market growing of vegetables did not begin until 1870 in nearby Patumahoe. After horticulturalist John Bilkey planted a successful crop of onions on Pukekohe Hill in 1892, local farmers began cultivating onion patches. The expansion of roads and railway infrastructure during the late 19th century led to the development of market gardens in Pukekohe and the nearby Bombay Hills. ^[19] By 1875, Pukekohe was connected to Auckland by rail with the extension of railway lines to Mercer. ^[7] This is when Pukekohe's population saw the largest growth. ^{[18] : 30} People who had lived in Te Awa nui o Taikehu returned to the area in the 1870s, often working as labourers in the market gardens on the former lands of the reserve. ^[6] By 1885 Pukekohe had 145 farmers, all the expected professionals of a small town, and several businesses. ^{[18] : 52}

20th century

Pukekohe East Church

During the early 20th century, several landless Māori from the Waikato migrated to Pukekohe to work in the township's market gardens as itinerant agricultural workers. These Māori came from the Ngatipari, Ākitai, and Ngāpuhi iwi (tribes). Since the Māori in Pukekohe had no ancestral ties to the land, they took the symbolic title of rootless Māori and became known as Nga Hau E Wha (People of the Four Winds). ^[20]

On 10 June 1905, Pukekohe became a town district. ^[7] By 1907, Pukekohe's town centre consisted of one main street with numerous stores and workshops. ^[21] Following the completion of the North Island Main Trunk railway line in 1907, Pukekohe's market gardens became a major supplier of agricultural produce for several North Island major population centres including Auckland and Wellington. ^[22] Due to Auckland's growing population, Pukekohe became an important market gardening area for the Auckland Region. ^[7] On 1 April 1912, Pukekohe became a borough with its own elected local council. ^[10] Due to Auckland's growing population during the 19th and 20th centuries, Pukekohe became an important market gardening area for the Auckland Region. ^[7] Mitha Unka, the first Indian settler, arrived in Pukekohe in 1918, ^[23] and an Indian community developed in the town during the 1930s and 1940s. ^[24] By July 1921, a beautifying society had been established in Pukekohe. ^[25]

The growing presence of Chinese and Indian market growers in Pukekohe led to the creation of the White New Zealand League in December 1925. ^{[26] [27]} In 1932, 1,400 Pukekohe locals petitioned the New Zealand Parliament to repatriate local Chinese and Indians, who they claimed were taking jobs from Europeans and Māori. Parliament dismissed the petition in 1934 on the grounds that the petition's allegations had not been proved. ^[28] Local Indians also formed the Pukekohe Indian Association. ^[26]

During the 1930s, another wave of Māori rural-to-urban migration occurred in the Auckland Region including Pukekohe. Many Māori migrating to Pukekohe and Auckland found it difficult to secure housing due to discrimination form landlords, with many experiencing substandard housing. On 15 July 1935, the Franklin Times reported that that the poor living conditions of Maori in Pukekohe contributed to a high Maori child mortality rate, with the newspaper estimating an upward of 20 dying. ^[29] The Pukekohe council later petitioned the New Zealand government to address the substandard living conditions of Māori market garden workers and their families. During the early 1940s, the Department of Māori Affairs launched a scheme to build houses for Māori workers and their families. However, the project was aborted when the Pukekohe council object to Māori living within the town's boundaries. ^[30]

Between 1942 and 1944, Pukekohe hosted US Marines, US Army and US Navy personnel serving in the Pacific theatre of World War Two. ^[31] During World War Two, the public mobilisation for the war effort led to the emergence of girls' marching clubs and a Boy's Brigade company. Pukekohe also hosted the annual Franklin Caledonian Society's sports day in February 1945. ^[32]

In 1952, the Māori Women's Welfare League undertook a house-to-house survey of living conditions in Pukekohe, where Māori worked as agricultural works on the market gardens and lived in substandard shacks provided by their employers. The League submitted its report to the Auckland City Council, the Department of Māori Affairs, and the State Advances Corporation. Despite the League's lobbying, many Māori continued to face substandard living conditions and long waits for state rental housing. ^[33] Until the 1950s, many Māori children in Pukekohe died from poverty-related illnesses such as typhoid. ^[30]

In 1952, the Department of Education established a segregated special Māori school in Pukekohe in response to strong local pressure from European residents who did not want their children to mix with Māori. This contradicted the department's policy of racially integrated schools. The visiting American psychologist David Ausubel regarded Pukekohe's segregated school as emblematic of an alleged "colour bar" in New Zealand where Māori faced negative stereotyping and discrimination in accessing housing, hotel accommodation, employment, and credit services. ^{[34] [35]}

In 1963, ethnic Chinese onion grower Rai Wai Ching contested a seat in the New Zealand Parliament to highlight racism in Pukekohe. At candidates' meetings, he complained that members of his community were not served in bars and were allocated inferior seats at the town's cinemas. Ching faced death threats and was given police protection. Though Ching's parliamentary bid was unsuccessful, the publicity led the town to end discrimination against non-Whites in hotels and cinemas. ^[26]

Culture

Marae

Ngā Hau e Whā Marae is located in the Pukekohe area. ^[36] It is the tribal meeting grounds of Ngāti Tamaoho and the Waikato Tainui hapū of Ngāi Tai and Ngāti Tamaoho. ^{[37] [ non-primary source needed ]}

Indian community centres

In 1953, the Nehru Hall was constructed in Pukekohe for the Indian committee, and was the first Indian community hall to be built in New Zealand. The hall was too small to host large-scale events such as Indian weddings, which instead were held at the Pukekohe War Memorial Town Hall. ^[24] In response to the community needing a larger space, the PIA Events Centre was opened by the Pukekohe Indian Association in 1999. ^[38]

Demographics

Between 1916 and 1936 Pukekohe saw a 65% growth compared to 42% for the rest of Franklin County. By 1936 it had 2536 residents with roughly 40% identifying as Anglican. ^{[18] : 95} The population went from 3,309 in 1945 to 6,547 in 1966 following the baby boom in the post war years. 31% of Pukekohe identified as Anglican by then but attendance was at an average of eight times per annum based on this number. ^{[18] : 141, 164} In 1991 Pukekohe had a population of 10,410. In 2001 Pukekohe's population was 13,110. ^{[18] : 231, 255}

Pukekohe covers 31.03 km² (11.98 sq mi) ^[1] and had an estimated population of 28,000 as of June 2024, ^[2] with a population density of 902 people per km².
