Koriniti

Koriniti is a settlement 47 kilometres (29 mi) upriver from Whanganui, New Zealand, home to the Ngāti Pāmoana hapū of the iwi Te Āti Haunui-a-Pāpārangi.

In 1848 the village was abandoned and a new one built in better agricultural land nearby at Otukopiri,[2] renamed Koriniti by the missionary Richard Taylor, a Māori transliteration of Corinth.
