}}{{about|town|island|Matakana Island|river|Matakana River|electorate|Matakana (New Zealand electorate)}}Matakana is a small town in the Rodney Ward of Auckland Council of New Zealand. Warkworth lies about 9 km to the south-west, Snells Beach the same distance to the south, Omaha is about 7 km to the east, and Leigh about 13 km to the north-east. The Matakana River flows through the town and into Kawau Bay to the south-east.[1][2]

The surrounding area contains several vineyards.[3] It is also known{{by whom|date=July 2016}} for its farmers' market, cinema, cafes, restaurants and boutique food-shops.[4] The reasonable proximity to Auckland (around one hour's drive away) has led to the region becoming a trendy getaway spot for foodie Aucklanders.[5]

From 2018[6] it is served by 7 buses a day between Warkworth and Omaha.[7] From 2013[8] it had 5 buses a day[9] and is also served by Mahu City Express.[10] Matakana has had a bus since at least 1930,[11] including buses to Auckland.[12]

History

Māori inhabitants of the area were from Ngāti Raupo, a hapu of Te Kawerau, Ngāti Manuhiri) and Ngāti Rongo.[13] Crown purchases started in 1841 with the Mahurangi Purchase, described by the Waitangi Tribunal as, "a crazy quilt of multiple and overlapping transactions".[14] Loggers then moved in to fell the kauri and other timber. George Darroch had a large shipyard building timber ships by 1852,[14] which continued for over 50 years.[15] By 1853 John Heyd'n's sawmill was at the falls on the Matakana river. Flax was also harvested. Matakana's first public building, the Presbyterian School and church, opened in 1864. By 1881, Matakana had about 150 people and most of the bush had been cut. Agriculture replaced it, especially fruit.[13] Matakana Dairy Factory opened in December 1902;[16] the building is now a shop.[13] A shark oil factory opened in 1905[17] and continued till at least 1921[18] and the industry longer.[19] Electricity came to Matakana in 1936.[13]

Matakana War Memorial

The Matakana War Memorial commemorates fallen servicemen from around Matakana who served during the First and Second World Wars. It is dedicated to 13 men from the district who lost their lives in the First World War. After the Second World War another plaque was added listing six men from the district who died in that conflict.

The memorial is unique as it features a sculpture of George V, sculpted by New Zealand sculptor William Henry Feldon (1872–1945).[20] Instead of ordering a sculpted figure from overseas, which was a common practice in New Zealand at the time, soldier and politician Sir James Allen commissioned Feldon for memorials in Matakana, Helensville, Mercer,[21] and the Arawa Memorial in Rotorua.[22] The memorial was unveiled in 1920 but has been vandalised and restored several times. In 2006 the memorial was moved from its original location on the corner of Matakana Wharf Road and Matakana Road to a nearby site in the Matakana Wharf Reserve.
