About Turangi

Turangi is a small city at the west financial institution of the Tongariro River, 50 kilometers south-west of Taupo at the North Island Volcanic Plateau of New Zealand. It was built to accommodate the workers associated with the Tongariro hydro-electric power improvement venture and their households. The metropolis become designed to remain as a small servicing centre for the unique forest plantations south of Lake Taupo and for vacationers. It is widely known for its trout fishing and calls itself the trout fishing capital of the world. The fundamental Maori hapu of the Turangi region is Ngati Turangitukua. The location became settled by means of the human beings of Ngati Tuwharetoa, descendants of folks that had originally settled within the Kawerau vicinity.

The fundamental Tuwharetoa migration took place from approximately the 16th century with a struggle celebration beneath command of Turangitukua who engaged in a number of battles against in advance population of the Taupo, Rotoaira and Kaimanawa place. Following those battles an expansion of settlements have been mounted within the vicinity with major pa set up at the cliff overlooking the Tongariro River and at Waitahanui on the Tongariro Delta. Another essential settlement turned into at Tokaanu.
