The area was the Mangateretere Block in the 1860s.[2] 1,253 acres (507 ha) of this constituted the Mangateretere West Block which the Native Lands Court granted to Māori owners (including Karaitiana Takamoana) in 1866, and most of which were subsequently leased to a local farmer.[3] The Mangateretere East Block was a further 2,047 acres (828 ha).[4] Ownership of the blocks passed to the local farmer about 1869 in what appears to be a transaction where not all parties gave informed consent.[5] This was one of the transactions objected to by the Hawke's Bay Repudiation Movement of the 1870s.[6] At least part of the land was returned to Māori in 1883.[7]
