Mokoreta
Mokoreta is an agricultural and sheepfarming district, in the Wyndham valley, on the banks of the Mokoreta river. It is in the Toetoes riding of the county of Southland, and in the electorate of Mataura, and lies about sixteen miles south-east from Wyndham towards Waikawa. At the census of 1901 there was a population of forty-seven in the township, and forty-three additional in the valley. Mokoreta has a post office, and there is a public school, with an average attendance of twenty-five children. The settlers have a cheese factory; and in 1904 a Presbyterian church, with seating-room for 100 adults, was built in the settlement.
