Urupukapuka Island is the largest island in the Bay of Islands of New Zealand, located about 7.3 km from Paihia.〔(Urupukapuka Island Archaeological Walk ). Rankers.〕 ==History== Urupukapuka Island was previously settled by the Ngare Raumati tribe, one of the oldest tribes of the area.〔(Whāngārei tribes: Urupukapuka Island ). ''Te Ara''.〕 In 1839, William Brind, a whaling captain, claimed to have purchased 150 acres of Urupukapuka from Rewa, a chief of the Ngapuhi tribe, for one mare valued at 45 English pounds. The claim was invalidated when Rewa claimed that the mare represented a mere deposit and not the whole lump sum amount.〔(Urupukapuka Island Archaeological Walk ). Department of Conservation.〕 In the later 1800s, two Europeans leased some of the land on Urupukapuka for grazing and began to clear the island and build a fenceline. In 1927, Otehei Bay had become the base of the fishing expeditions of the American author Zane Grey, and a world famous fishing resort was later established there.〔(History of Urupukapuka Maori )〕
