The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Otago & Southland Provincial Districts]

Kokonga

Kokonga is a pastoral district seventy-four miles north-west from Dunedin, on the Otago Central railway. The Taieri river winds through the district; hence the name “Ko-ko-nga”—the Maori for “Bending River.” Some small patches of arable land have been brought under cultivation, with good results, and there are two small runs, the property of Mr. Glendining and Mr. Logan respectively. Kokonga has a school, post office, store and hotel. Good shooting is obtainable at the Taieri Lake, about half way between Kokonga and Waipiata.
