The Founding Years in Rotorua: A History of Events to 1900. The township of Rotorua, in the heart of New Zealand's North Island and the centre of its thermal region, was established just over one hundred years ago. In Rotorua the distinctions are unusual: major Maori habitation, abounding thermal activity and a consequent flow of tourist visitors, lakes as waterways and gracious amenities, a period of guerilla warfare, dense forest that gave an early timber industry and yielded to abundant agriculture, isolation and terrain that made transport difficult, and government involvement that was mainly expressed as a difficult and distant bureaucracy. Rotorua's birth came with the introduction of the Thermal Springs Districts Act and 1882 saw its infancy begin. The earlier European settlers bitterly resisted attempts to prize them away from the old town at Ohinemutu. There was no joy for the Maori either, for the grand scheme to lease the new township to a host of clamouring would-be investors turned sour and left the Maori owners lamenting. Despite the devastating eruption of Mount Tarawera, the settlement survived and gradually prospered.
