HistoryTaratahi Agricultural Training Centre was established in 1919 in central Wairarapa as a training farm for men returning from the First World War. The original costs were funded by gifts and public donations with a further Government contribution. The original centre commenced operation with 60 men receiving practical farm training. Later the farm was used for various purposes related to training in agricultural skills. After the Second World War, Taratahi was again made available to returned servicemen. From 1944 to 1950, 80 men passed through the farm under the Rehabilitation Department's Scheme, prior to settling onto their own farms. In 1951, the Trustees decided to carry out extensive improvements and enlarged the activities of the farm to provide training for young people between the ages of 16 – 20 years. For a long time Taratahi was known as the Wairarapa Cadet Training Farm. It changed its name in the early 1980s to Taratahi Agricultural Training Centre.
