[Greatford]
The ninth station from Palmerston North on the Foxton New Plymonth section of railways, Greatford has combined postal and railway offices, which are connected by telephone. The station, which is 113 miles from Wellington and thirty-seven from Wauganni, is the point of disembarkation for the township of Bulls, four miles distant by a capital road. The settlement is in the County and Electoral District of Rangitikei; it is also a school district under the Education Board of Wanganui. Close at hand is the well-known Westoe Estate.
