Onaero is a settlement in northern Taranaki, in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located on State Highway 3 close to the shore of the North Taranaki Bight, 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) east of Waitara.[1] Onaero was the site of the No. 2 Company Redoubt, a British military installation created during the Second Taranaki War by soldiers from the Tikorangi Redoubt in 1865, however it was abandoned several months later.[2]

Whilst strictly not an historical work (in the sense of being a published book/monograph), the papers of Dick Purdie Jonas (held at "Puke Ariki". Archived from the original on 20 June 2008. in New Plymouth) provide a wealth of historical, archaeological, and anthropological information about this region. See "Jonas, Dick Purdie (ARC2002-166)".
