North Forest Hill

North Forest Hill is a picturesque farming district about five miles to the west and to the south of the borough of Winton. The land varies from level to hilly, and is well suited for both pasturage and agriculture. It is in the Winton riding of the county of Southland, and in the electorate of Awarua; and at the census of 1901, had a population of 171. Originally the country was clothed with verdant bush, of which, however, the greater part disappeared long ago. The line of railway from Winton to Hedgehope is on the northern side of the district, and a flag station, known as King's, is available for the settlers, while Gap Road railway station, on the Invercargill-Kingston line of railway, is three miles distant.
