Tītahi Bay
Tītahi Bay, also written Titahi Bay, is a suburb of Porirua in metropolitan Wellington, in the lower North Island of New Zealand. It lies at the foot of a short peninsula on the west coast of the Porirua Harbour, to the north of Porirua city centre.
The legendary Polynesian navigator Kupe landed at Komanga Point, 3 kilometres west of Titahi Bay, leaving an anchor stone which today can be seen at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. The area was settled by Māori for many years before the arrival of Europeans, and several pa sites are located nearby. The area was the site of many inter-iwi conflicts, notably in the 1820s, when the area was invaded by the followers of Te Rauparaha.
The first European residents were whalers operating from Korohiwa, between Titahi Bay and Komanga Point.
During World War II, a camp housing US military personnel was built in Titahi Bay.
In December 2010, the name of the suburb was officially changed to Tītahi Bay by the addition of a macron.
Tītahi Bay, comprising the statistical areas of Titahi Bay North and Titahi Bay South, covers 5.54 km2 (2.14 sq mi). It had an estimated population of 6,810 as of June 2024, with a population density of 1,229 people per km2. These figures do not include Onepoto, which had a population of 1,990 at that time.
Tītahi Bay had a population of 6,432 at the 2018 New Zealand census, an increase of 411 people (6.8%) since the 2013 census, and an increase of 753 people (13.3%) since the 2006 census. There were 2,247 households, comprising 3,105 males and 3,327 females, giving a sex ratio of 0.93 males per female, with 1,536 people (23.9%) aged under 15 years, 1,251 (19.4%) aged 15 to 29, 2,889 (44.9%) aged 30 to 64, and 756 (11.8%) aged 65 or older.
Ethnicities were 67.5% European/Pākehā, 36.1% Māori, 19.6% Pasifika, 8.0% Asian, and 2.8% other ethnicities. People may identify with more than one ethnicity.
