Te Aroha

Te Aroha

      town, northern North Island, New Zealand, on the Waihou (Thames) River. The settlement, established in 1880 as a river port for a new gold find, was known as Aroha Gold Field Town, Morgantown, and Aroha. It derives its present name from that of a nearby extinct volcano rising 3,126 feet (953 m) in the Coromandel Range; the term means “the loved one” and refers to an ancient Maori legend. Te Aroha was constituted a town district in 1886. It is linked to Auckland (115 miles [185 km] northwest) by road and rail via Hamilton and is the business centre of the Waihou-Piako basin, a dairying district. The town has joinery, bacon, concrete products, clothing, leather preparation, and engineering works; there are also sawmills and agricultural storage facilities. Mineral springs have made it a popular health resort. Pop. (2001) 3,687.
