Te Hāpua

Te Hāpua is a community on the shores of the Parengarenga Harbour in Northland, New Zealand.

The road to Te Hāpua leaves State Highway 1 at Waitiki Landing.

[3] The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "the lagoon" for Te Hāpua.

[4] Matiu Rata, Cabinet Minister in the Third Labour Government in the 1970s and founder of the Mana Motuhake party, was born in Te Hāpua in 1934[5] and buried there in his Rātana robes.

[2] The 1975 Māori land march left Te Hāpua for Wellington on 14 September 1975 (Maori Language Day).

The results were 24.3% European (Pākehā); 89.2% Māori; 9.5% Pasifika; 1.4% Asian; and 2.7% other, which includes people giving their ethnicity as "New Zealander".

Due to its maritime location, the ocean moderates temperatures year-round, and there is some seasonal lag.
