Whangamomona is a small township in the Stratford District and Manawatu-Wanganui Region in New Zealand. It lies on State Highway 43, the "Forgotten World Highway", north-east of Stratford and south-west of Ohura. By rail it is from Stratford on the Stratford-Okahukura railway line.〔Wises New Zealand Guide, 7th Edition, 1979. p. 506.〕 == History == The first settlers arrived in 1895, with the town proper established some 2 years later.〔(Stratford Press: Two decades and counting in Whangamomona )〕 Growth of the town was seriously affected by the loss of 51 men (including the smaller nearby settlements of Kohuratahi and Tahora)〔(War Memorial Cenotaph: Ohura Rd, Kohuratahi )〕 in the First World War and a major flood in 1924.〔 The town recovered with arrival of the railway line in 1933 and electrification in 1959.〔 However the town went into decline again and the school closed in 1979, followed 9 years later by the post office.〔
