Waterton

Waterton is in the Longbeach road district, and is ten miles from Tinwald and twelve from Ashburton. A coach carrying passengers and mails leaves Waterton daily at 8 a.m., and returns at 6 p.m. The township itself is on the Longbeach road and close to the seashore. There is a good hotel of twenty-one rooms, several business houses, a church and a school, which is situated near Longbeach homestead. The land throughout the district is of good quality, and yields excellent crops of cereals. There is generally a large area under cultivation, and sheep thrive well on the lighter land.
