Tuahiwi is a small New Zealand settlement located between Woodend and Rangiora. It is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) north of Kaiapoi.[1]
The land on which Tuahiwi was founded was originally a Ngāi Tūahuriri hapū of Ngāi Tahu pā site.[2] With European settlement, the site was reserved for Māori in the 19th century. There was a meeting house on the site in 1870 that almost burnt down.[3] Significant developments included the establishment of a Māori mission which included a church built in 1867.
In 1890 Tuahiwi was described as having a neat village of Maori residences. The old whares had been replaced by more substantial fenced cottages with gardens. A school, church (St Stephens), and meeting hall were in the centre of the township and there was a flagpole in front of the meeting hall. The Maori Land Court used the hall from time to time.[4]
In 1900 the Tuahiwi hall was used as a base by D Company of the 1st North Canterbury Mounted Rifle Battalion, a volunteer unit.[5] The Mounted Rifles included Tuahiwi Maori.[6]
Te Wai Pounamu College for Māori girls was founded there in 1909. It relocated to Christchurch.[1]
