Waikokopu

Waikokopu is a small coastal settlement in northern Hawke Bay, New Zealand, where the Waikokopu stream forms a small tidal estuary between two prominent headlands. The name Waikokopu translates from Māori as "waters" (''wai'') of the "kokopu" (), the kokopu being any one of three species of small native fresh-water fish. Waikokopu is about 40 km east of Wairoa, the principal town in northern Hawke Bay.
==Early days==
In Māori times Waikokopu was a landing place for waka (canoes) and the site of Māori settlements. By 1832 (8 years before the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi) it was the site of the first coastal whaling station in the northern Hawkes Bay, run by an American named Ward (). Other whaling stations were established in the same general area, and the whales were soon depleted as an economic resource.
By 1876 wool was being loaded out from Waikokopu to ships waiting offshore (). By 1910 volumes had increased to the point where a port company was formed to improve facilities for the loading out of farm produce. Mr EB Bendall was appointed Harbour master.
