Te Rori o Te Hiwi o Paekākāriki
He mea hanga te Rori o Te Hiwi o Paekākāriki hei whakamahuru i te rohe o Pōneke i muri mai o te pakanga o Hutt Valley i 1845/46.
Nā ngā mataaro pūkaha o te Taua o Ingarangi me ngā kaihanga rori Māori i whakaoti te rori i Nōema 1849, nā, i honongia a Pōneke me Porirua ki te rori ākau ki Whanganui. He mea whakamahi a Paekākāriki me tōna hōtēra mō ngā hua Māori, te mēra, te kararehe me te hunga noho whenua hei okiokinga mō te tangata haereere me te hoiho. Mai i 1866 e tū ana tētehi ratonga mēra tae noa ki te whakatūwheratanga o te rerewhenua i 1886.
I tū ko te Hiwi o Paekākāriki te huarahi matua ki te raki tae noa ki 1939, ki te wā i whakakore ai a Centennial Highway i te pikitanga uaua, kino hoki.
