Normanby is a small village in South Taranaki, New Zealand. It is approximately 6 km inland from Hawera along State Highway 3. Eltham is 13 km further north.[1][2] It is also situated on the Marton - New Plymouth Line railway, which has been freight-only through Normanby since the cessation of passenger railcar services between Wellington and New Plymouth on 30 July 1977.{{sfn|Churchman & Hurst|2001|p=133}}

The population of Normanby and its surrounding hinterland was 849 in the 2006 Census, a decrease of 24 from 2001.[3]

The town was founded at the site of the Waihi redoubt, which was established as a field headquarters in September 1866 by colonial military forces fighting Hauhau Māori in the Second Taranaki War[4][5]

Ketemarae Pa

Located near Normanby is Ketemarae Pa, a local historic centre for Maori settlement. It is an entry point for the Whakaahurangi track to Kairoa Pa, near Lepperton. This track linked northern and southern Taranaki before British settlement.[6][7]

The site includes the meeting houses of Kumea Mai te Waka and Te Manawanui,[8] and is a meeting place for the Ngāti Ruanui hapū of Araukūku.[9]

Education

Normanby School is a coeducational contributing primary (years 1–6) school with a decile rating of 4 and a roll of 130.[10] The school was established in 1876.[11]
