Railway

[edit]

The East Coast Main Trunk Railway passes through Te Puke and opened in 1928. Rail passenger services were provided by the Taneatua Express which operated between Auckland and Taneatua between 1928 and 1959. In February 1959, the steam hauled express train service was replaced by a railcar service operated by 88 seaters that only ran as far as Te Puke. The railcar service operated between 1959 and 1967, when it was cancelled due to both mechanical problems with the railcars and poor patronage, the latter largely due to the circuitous and time-consuming rail route between Auckland and the Bay of Plenty at that time.[14]

Horticulture

Marae

[edit]

There are five marae in Te Puke, affiliated with local iwi and hapū:[15][16]

Economy

[edit]

Agriculture is the backbone of the district's economy. The warm, moist climate and fertile soils are favourable for horticulture, with production of kiwifruit, avocados and citrus fruit such as lemons and oranges. The town markets itself as the "Kiwifruit capital of the world". Dairy cattle and other livestock are also farmed.

Today, Te Puke is a thriving town with a reasonably large main shopping street, Jellicoe Street, which is also the main road passing through Te Puke. There are a number of schools, religious organisations, cultural groups, and a variety of clubs in the town.

A large number of residents work picking or packing kiwifruit during April or May, as well as others coming from other nearby towns and cities. It can swell past 10,000 some seasons.[7]

Education

[edit]

Te Puke High School is the town's co-educational state high school for Year 9 to 13 students,[18][19] with a roll of 1054 as of July 2025.[20] Te Puke District High School opened in 1923, and became Te Puke High School in 1954.[21]

Te Puke has two state primary schools for Year 1 to 6 students: Fairhaven School,[22][23] with a roll of 500,[24] and Te Puke Primary School,[25][26] with a roll of 293.[27] Fairhaven School includes a Māori language immersion unit.[28] The school opened in 1957.[29] Te Puke Primary School opened in 1883.[30]

The local microclimate benefits from protection by the Kaimai Ranges, which shield Te Puke from prevailing strong and create a more stable environment conducive to .

History

Early Settlement

The area around Te Puke was traditionally occupied by of the Tauranga Moana group, including and , with influences from in adjacent territories. The name "Te Puke," meaning "the hill" in te reo Māori, derives from a prominent elevated site used as a during pre-European times, such as Maungaruahine Pā, which served as a defensive stronghold. A key figure in local was Takaanui Hōhaia Tarakawa, a , historian, and genealogist of Tapuika, Ngāti Rangiwewehi, and descent, who advocated for land claims in the region during the late 19th century. European settlement began in the aftermath of the , particularly the of 1867–70, which led to the confiscation of lands in the under the New Zealand Settlements Act 1863. George Vesey Stewart, an Irish settler and promoter, founded the Te Puke settlement in 1881 as an extension of his earlier scheme, purchasing approximately 16,000 acres of government-held land for resale to immigrants. The initial wave of settlers, numbering around 200–300 individuals primarily from in (with Protestant Irish and Scottish heritage), arrived by ship, including the Lady Jocelyn docking at on 2 January 1881; these pioneers faced challenges from prior land disputes but established claims through ballot selections. Gold was discovered at Muirs Reef in 1895, leading to intermittent mining activity until 1928. In the , these settlers focused on clearing dense native bush for , transforming the forested landscape into farmland despite the labor-intensive conditions. The first opened in March 1881 at Chaytor and Carnachan's Store, facilitating communication and services for the growing community, with facilities added that year. Te Matai Native School, established in 1887 to provide for Māori children under the Native Schools Act 1867, marked an early institutional effort to integrate in the district. By the 1890s, the combined European and Māori population had reached approximately 400, reflecting steady early growth amid ongoing land adjustments.

Town Development

In the early , Te Puke transitioned from a rural settlement to a more structured town, achieving town district status in 1913 and borough status in 1935, which facilitated local governance and planning. The grew steadily, reaching 852 residents in the Te Puke Borough by 1921 and expanding to 1,179 by 1926, driven by agricultural expansion and improved access via the developing road network. Key institutions emerged to support this growth, including Te Puke High School, established in 1923 to serve secondary students from the district and surrounding areas. By the 1920s, Jellicoe Street had solidified as the town's primary commercial hub, featuring a wide, tree-lined layout designed in the style of English spa towns and lined with department stores and shops representative of the era's architecture. began to transform daily life around this time, with power lines visible along main streets by the mid-1920s, enabling modern amenities and supporting commercial activity. Post-World War I commemorations included the erection of the Takuira Memorial Arch in 1921 at the eastern entrance to the town, honoring a prominent leader and reflecting community resilience amid loss. Social infrastructure developed further in , with community halls such as the No. 2 Road Hall—originally built in 1882 but renovated for ongoing use—serving as venues for meetings, events, and church services. severely impacted local farming, exacerbating challenges for dairy and crop producers through plummeting prices and reduced exports, though some diversification into milling provided temporary relief. Following , Te Puke experienced a and population surge, with returning servicemen utilizing government schemes to acquire homes and land, contributing to a building boom. The borough's population climbed to 2,283 by 1951 and approached 3,000 by 1956, underscoring the town's maturation as a regional center before the rise of specialized .

Railway

The Te Puke railway station was constructed as part of the East Coast Main Trunk (ECMT) line, with the turning of the first sod for the Tauranga to Te Puke section occurring on 10 April 1910. The line reached Te Puke and opened to both passenger and goods traffic on 10 October 1913, facilitating initial connectivity for the region's agricultural and timber industries. This extension formed the initial segment of what would become the full ECMT upon completion to Taneatua in 1928, integrating Te Puke into a longer trunk route from Hamilton. During its peak operations from to the , the station played a vital role in transporting horticultural produce, such as fruits, and timber products from local sawmills, supporting Te Puke's emerging economy in these sectors. Facilities at the station included sidings for loading goods and a dedicated goods shed to handle exports, with freight services emphasizing the area's fertile volcanic soils and resources. Passenger services, including the Taneatua Express until its replacement in , further enhanced regional links, though traffic volumes reflected the dominance of goods over time. The station's decline began with the end of dedicated passenger railcar services to Te Puke in September 1967, driven by increasing competition from road transport. Goods operations persisted briefly but ceased entirely in 1979, leading to the full closure of the station amid broader shifts to trucking for efficiency. The site has since been repurposed, with remnants such as the old platforms preserved and parts of the surrounding area adapted for local walking tracks. The railway's establishment significantly boosted Te Puke's population growth during the by improving access for settlers and markets, laying foundational for the town's horticultural prominence. Today, while the ECMT line remains active for freight beyond the former station, its historical contributions to regional development endure through preserved elements that highlight Te Puke's transport heritage.

Horticulture

Te Puke's horticultural sector emerged in the late with experimental plantings of fruits, which thrived in the region's fertile volcanic soils and subtropical climate, leading to the establishment of the area's first commercial orchard in 1915 focused on apples, pears, and varieties such as , lemons, and grapefruit. Avocados were introduced to nearby in 1919, with early trials of named varieties from showing promise in the Bay of Plenty's conditions by the 1940s, though commercial scale remained limited before the mid-20th century. These foundational crops set the stage for diversification, but marked a pivotal shift when vines—initially known as Chinese gooseberries—were imported and propagated in by local growers, including pioneer Jim McLoughlin who planted the first commercial block on a half-acre site in Te Puke in 1932 using the emerging Hayward variety selected by Hayward Wright for its large, robust fruit suitable for export. The first commercial kiwifruit crop from Te Puke orchards contributed to trial exports in the early 1950s, with 20 crates shipped to in 1952, signaling the fruit's potential beyond local markets. Expansion accelerated in the amid growing international demand, with plantings surging during the 1970s and 1980s boom that saw over 4,000 hectares dedicated to kiwifruit in the by the late 1980s, transforming small dairy farms into specialized orchards supported by government-backed marketing initiatives. By the 1970s, Te Puke had earned its nickname as the "Kiwifruit Capital of the World" due to its central role in New Zealand's production, further bolstered by the establishment of the Te Puke Research Centre in 1972 by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (later HortResearch), where scientists like Russell Lowe advanced breeding and cultivation techniques for the Hayward . A significant challenge arose in the late 1980s following Cyclone Bola's flooding in 1988, which triggered an outbreak of early vine decline—a soil-borne disorder affecting vines across Te Puke orchards—and prompted rapid research responses at the local centre to identify climate-related factors and improve drainage practices. Government support evolved through cooperative structures rooted in Te Puke's grower networks, culminating in the 1997 formation of Zespri International as a single exporter to stabilize the industry. By the 1990s, the , centered on Te Puke, accounted for over 75% of New Zealand's production, underscoring the town's global status in the sector. This historical foundation continues to influence the region's primary industries today.
