It is located {{Convert|53|km|}} south of Hamilton and {{Convert|18|km|}} north of Te Kuiti, on the Waipa River. It is a service town for the surrounding dairy-farming district. It is recognised as the "gateway" to the Waitomo Caves and as the "Kiwiana Town" of New Zealand. Until 2007, Otorohanga held a yearly 'Kiwiana Festival.'[1] HistoryIn the 1860s Otorohanga was a Ngāti Maniopoto village, with whares, peach trees and a flour mill. It was abandoned after the invasion of the Waikato, except for Lewis Hettit's (or Hetet)[2] farm.[3] The area remained insecure, with Hettit's store being robbed by Te Kooti[4] in 1869,[5] but a meeting with Donald McLean later that year signalled moves towards peace.[6] John William Ellis became postmaster and opened a store in 1885[7] with Henry Valder[8] and John Taonui Hetet.[9] In 1886 Ngāti Maniopoto built a court room for the Native Land Court[10] and from that year mail was delivered 3 times a month[11] and disputes which had delayed development[12] were settled.[13] On 9 March 1887 the railway was extended {{Convert|14|mi||abbr=on}} from Te Awamutu[14] and a 14-room[15] hotel was built, primarily for those attending the Court.[16] The sawmill, later run by Ellis and Burnand, started in 1890[17] and closed in 1912.[18]In the early 1900s many businesses were established by Māori, in particular John Ormsby (Hōne Ōmipi).[19] The Otorohanga Times was formed in 1912; it merged with the King Country Chronicle to form the Waitomo News in 1980.[20] McDonald’s began a limestone quarry south of Otorohanga in 1968,[21] which was bought by Graymont in 2015.[22] Otorohanga’s population grew from 367 in 1916 to 1,569 in 1951, after which growth slowed. Although population dropped from 2,652 in 1991 and to 2,514 in 2013, the fall was much less than in the rest of King Country.[19] District Council{{main|Otorohanga District}}Otorohanga is the seat of the Otorohanga District Council. Max Baxter has been the mayor since the 2013 local elections.[23] AttractionsOtorohanga is internationally renowned for its local Kiwi House,[24] which was the first place in the world where the general public could view kiwi in captivity.[25] It recorded an average of 5,000 visitors per month {{As of|2008|alt=in 2008|lc=y}}.[26] The town also has a public library, a swimming complex, a supermarket, and a 24-hour McDonald's. HarrodsvilleIn 1986, the town briefly changed its name to "Harrodsville". This was a protest in support of a restaurateur, Henry Harrod of Palmerston North, who was being forced to change the name of his restaurant following the threat of lawsuits from Mohamed Al Fayed, the then owner of Harrod's department store in London.[27][28] As a show of solidarity for Henry Harrod, and in anticipation of actions against other similar-sounding businesses, it was proposed that every business in Otorohanga change its name to "Harrods". With the support of the District Council, Otorohanga temporarily changed the town's name to Harrodsville. After being lampooned in the British tabloids, Al Fayed dropped the legal action and Harrodsville and its shops reverted to their former names. The town's response raised widespread media interest around the world, with the BBC World Service and newspapers in Greece, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Canada covering the story. See also
