The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Canterbury Provincial District]

Hunter

Hunter is a sheepfarming district in the Makikihi riding of the Waimate county towards the hills, at the back of the Hook and Makakihi districts. The land is mostly undulating, and is good for agriculture and sheepfarming purposes. There has been a public school in the district since about 1878, and a post office since 1883. A public hall and library were erected in 1902. Divine service is held periodically in the public school by the clergy of the Anglican and Presbyterian churches. The population of the district at the census of 1901 was 165.
