Thornton is located {{convert|13|km}} west of Whakatane, and is on the true right of the Rangitaiki River. Thornton is where in 1911 the Rangitaiki River was put into a straight channel, which enabled draining the Rangitaiki Plains and converting this swamp land into dairy country.[5] References1. ^ tags -->| area_footnotes = | area_urban_footnotes = |
