This pleasantly situated spot, which is about three miles from Wanganui, with which it is connected by rail and by a charming stretch of road by the river bank, along which ‘busses ply half-hourly, is in the Brunswick Riding of the County of Waitotara, and in the Wanganui Electorate. The railway station, known as Aramoho Junction, which is often a busy scene, is separately described in these pages. The population of Aramoho is 600, and there is a good school, managed by a local committee, under the Wanganui Board. Mails are made up and received twice each day in the local post-office. At this point there is a fine railway traffic bridge spanning the Wanganui River and communicating by foot-bridge with Eastown, where there are large railway workshops and a settlement, the population of the village being 228. Eastown is in the Mateongaonga Riding of the Wanganui County, and is closely connected with Aramoho, many of the employés in the workshops living on that side of the river.
