It was formerly known as Spöring Island, named by Lt. James Cook after the Finnish draughtsman Herman Spöring, a member of the scientific detachment aboard HM Bark Endeavour, and in 1990 a rock was taken from Pourewa Island to Spöring's birthplace in Turku (Åbo), Finland, where it forms part of a monument which was erected there[1] to commemorate the first Finn to land in New Zealand, in 1769. It is also sometimes known as Loisel's Island{{Citation needed|date=November 2009}}, after Henri Loisel who took up a sheep farm at Waihau Bay to the south, and is said to have kept a yacht moored there, but is again officially known by its original Māori name, Pourewa. {{Coord|38|23|S|178|21|E|region:NZ_type:isle|display=title}}See also
