Ngā taonga tuku iho o Ōtaki rāua ko Te Horo

I te tau 1820, he mea raupatu a Muaupoko e ngā iwi o te raki e hoki ana i ngā Pakanga Pū.

Ko Haowhenua tētehi o ngā pakanga ā-iwi nui rawa i te tonga o Te Ika ā Māui.

Ko te whakamaharatanga kōhatu kei te Takutai o Ōtaki, he rite ki te rā tōna āhua, he mea whakatū e te Ōtaki Historical Society.

I whanake ake te kaupapa puni hauora o Aotearoa i ngā māharahara mō te āhua o te hauora me te manaaki i te tamariki i te tīmatanga o te rau tau rua tekau. 

He mea whakatū i 1918 hei wāhanga nō te Pēke o Aotearoa, e tū ana te whare BNZ i waenga pū o te wāhi maharatanga o Ōtaki.

No 1886 te whare teihana tūturu i hangaia ai i te otinga o te raina rerewhenua o te kamupene o Pōneke me Manawatū.

I hinga a Muaupoko me Ngāti Apa i a Ngāti Toa (c1821-28). Ko Te Hakeke tētehi o ngā rangatira o Ngāti Apa, ā, nāna i āki tōna iwi kia whawhai kia mau ki tō rātou mana motuhake.

He whakanui tēnei i te rerenga wakarererangi tuatahi i te rohe o Te Whanganui ā Tara, 29 o Hānuere, 1914.

Ko Ōtaki Forks te tomokanga hauāuru matua ki Tararua Forest Park.  Ko ngā kautawa e rua nei, a Waiotauru me Waitatapia, ka tūtaki ki te awa o Ōtaki ki konei.  Ko Mount Hector e tū whakarae ana i te Gorge.
