Situate 115 miles from Wellington and fourteen miles from Makino—the nearest telegraph office—on the Foxton-New Plymouth Railway line, this settlement is in the Waituna Biding of the Kiwitea County and in the Electoral District of Rangitikei. It has, however, its local post-office, which is also a telephone bureau, a daily mail being received and despatched by coach. The Waituna School District is connected with the Wanganui Education Board. The district is noted for its lovely farms, smiling homesteads being dotted here and there, surrounded by well-kept gardens and orchards. Feilding and Marton divide honours as market town for the district.
