South Hillend is a splendid farming district, and is practically a continuation northward of the rich agricultural districts of Drummond and Heddon Bush. Some of the finest farming land in Southland is in the locality. South Hillend is in the Winton. riding of the county of Southland, and in the electoral district of Wallace; and had, at the census of 1901, a population of 258. It lies westward of the Oreti, and eastward of the Aparima. There is a public school and a post office, of which the school master has charge, and mails are received, and despatched, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in each week. A handsome little public hall, erected as the result of public subscription, is available for public gatherings.
