Ōhaupō
Ōhaupō is a rural community in the Waipā District and Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island. It is located on State Highway 3, about halfway between Hamilton and Te Awamutu.
The Ōhaupō area and surrounding Ngāhinapōuri, Te Rore and Harapēpē area were military outposts during the Waikato War and a military fortification was built about one kilometre north of the township in April 1864. Other military fortifications had been built at nearby Ngāhinapōuri, Tuhikaramea and Te Rore four months earlier, in December 1863.
The earliest European settlers in Ōhaupō were Bohemian militiamen from the Puhoi settlement north of Auckland. As of 2015, many descendants of these militiamen still lived in the area.
In July 2020, the name of the locality was officially gazetted as Ōhaupō by the New Zealand Geographic Board. The New Zealand Ministry for Culture and Heritage gives a translation of "place of a breeze at night" for Ōhaupō.
The Ohaupo railway station was a train station on the North Island Main Trunk It included a ladies' waiting room, public vestibule, ticket lobby, stationmaster's office, an asphalt platform, goods shed and a 7-room stationmaster's house. In 1927 the station was handling almost 2,700 tons of fertiliser each year.
The Mystery Creek Events Centre east of the township hosts the Southern Hemisphere's largest agricultural event, Fieldays.
Statistics New Zealand describes Ōhaupō as a rural settlement, which covers 1.54 km2 (0.59 sq mi) and had an estimated population of 790 as of June 2025, with a population density of 513 people per km2. The settlement is part of the larger Kaipaki statistical area.
Ōhaupō had a population of 783 in the 2023 New Zealand census, an increase of 183 people (30.5%) since the 2018 census, and an increase of 267 people (51.7%) since the 2013 census. There were 372 males, 408 females and 3 people of other genders in 243 dwellings. 2.3% of people identified as LGBTIQ+. The median age was 38.2 years (compared with 38.1 years nationally). There were 201 people (25.7%) aged under 15 years, 87 (11.1%) aged 15 to 29, 345 (44.1%) aged 30 to 64, and 150 (19.2%) aged 65 or older.
