Marokopa

Marokopa is a rural community in Waitomo District and Waikato region of New Zealand.

In 1911 a large dairy factory was built,[2] which mainly made butter which was shipped to Auckland.

[4] A telephone link to Te Kūiti was completed in 1914[5] and a service car[6] ran on Tuesdays and Fridays from 1920.

These meshblocks had these census results -[1][15] The coast between Marokopa and Kiritehere is accessible at low tide.

[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.
