Te Aroha (Māori: Te Aroha-a-uta) is a rural town in the Waikato region of New Zealand with a population of 3,906 people in the 2013 census, an increase of 138 people since 2006.[3] It is 53 km (33 mi) northeast of Hamilton and 50 km (31 mi) south of Thames. It sits at the foot of 952 metres (3,123 ft) Mount Te Aroha, the highest point in the Kaimai Range.
History
The name Te Aroha derives from the Māori name of Mount Te Aroha. In one version, Rāhiri, the eponymous ancestor of Ngāti Rāhiri Tumutumu, climbed the mountain and saw his homeland in the distance and felt a sense of love (aroha) for it. The town is properly named Te Aroha-a-uta; uta meaning 'inland', so the town is named "love flowing inland".[4] In some Tainui traditions, Rakataura, a tohunga of the Tainui waka, was one of the first people to leave the waka, settling at Rarotonga / Mount Smart. After a period of time, Rakataura decided to leave Tāmaki Makaurau and travel south, however during the journey his wife Kahukeke died. Eventually Rakataura settled at Te Aroha, naming the area after the love he felt for Kahukeke.[5]
The European settlement was established in the late 1870s. The population grew quickly during the 1880s as a result of a gold rush. A spa was founded in 1883 but popularity had declined by the 1930s.[4]
The Te Aroha and Lemon fizzy drink was created in 1888 until it ceased production in the 1960s. It started being produced again in 2022.[10][11]
On 17 February 1985 Te Aroha experienced a severe flash flood that washed boulders, mud, and trees through the town. Most shops and more than 50 homes were damaged, resulting in the death of three people.[12][13][14]
On 4 January 2022, a magnitude 5.1 earthquake struck 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) south of Te Aroha, at a depth of 7 kilometres (4.3 mi).[15] Te Aroha's water treatment plant was had to temporarily close on 21 November 2023 due to bad weather. Residents were asked to keep water consumption low, and there were water tankers for residents to get water from.[16]
Bridges
Coulter Bridge, over the Waihou River, on Kenrick St (SH26) was rebuilt in 1910[17] and the present bridge was built alongside it in 1928.[18] The 1885 railway bridge had an 11 ft (3.4 m) and 9 of 40 ft (12 m) spans, with a swing span at its east end.[19] It was rebuilt in 1912,[20] replacing an 1895 swing bridge.[21] It is now a footbridge, but will not be replaced.[22]
Railway stations
The Thames Branch reached Te Aroha in 1885 and the station opened on 1 March 1886,[24] when it had a partly built 4th class station (completed in June 1886 by W Cameron for about £2,750, with some buildings probably also moved from Eureka to Te Aroha), platform, cart approach, 40 ft (12 m) x 30 ft (9.1 m) goods shed (extended in 1942), loading bank, engine shed, stationmaster's house, urinals and a passing loop for 48 wagons. Te Aroha remained a terminus until the line to Paeroa opened on 20 December 1895. Cattle yards were added later in 1886, a coffee stall in 1896 and more improvements in 1897.[19] The station was described in 1902 as, "of wood, and include a ladies' waiting room, a public waiting room, a vestibule, stationmaster's office, ticket office, and parcels office. There is a long asphalted platform."[6]
The area west of the Waihou was named Herriesville from 1914,[25][26] when a private railway siding[27] was opened on 24 January 1914 to serve the A&P ground.[28][29]William Herries had been a local landowner.[30] Seven railway cottages were built in 1924.[31] Both stations closed to passengers on 11 September 1967 and to freight on 11 July 1986, though Herriesville was only open for racecourse traffic.[24]
Tui Pa Line closed, station closed 2.49 km (1.55 mi)

The Waihou River runs through Te Aroha. Close by to the east is the base of the Kaimai Range, and the town is overlooked by the 952-metre Mount Te Aroha. To the north of the town is the low-lying, swampy land of the Hauraki Plains.[citation needed]
Hot springs
Thermal and mineral springs are both found close to the centre of the town. The springs have been used by the Māori for many years before becoming popular in the 1870s with European settlers. The New Zealand Herald writes that the site was gifted to New Zealand by chief Mokena Hou in the 1880s. The hot spring water emerges from the source at a range of 75 °C /167 °F to 85 °C / 185 °F, and is cooled before reaching the soaking pools. Te Aroha has a hot soda-water geyser, which is the only one of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.[35]

Te Aroha is at the centre of a dairy farming community and much of its economic activity is in serving that community. Tourism is increasing in Te Aroha. The mineral baths are a very popular spot for tourists and locals alike.[citation needed]
Historically mining played a role in the area, and has left some legacies – not all of them positive, such as toxic residues leaking from the abandoned Tui mine tailings dam.[39] Miners' cottages are in evidence.[citation needed]
Attractions
Te Aroha is the location of the Mokena Hou Geyser, the only natural soda water geyser in the world.[40] The geyser complex, the most intact Edwardianspa in New Zealand, is located in the Te Aroha Domain.[41]

The Bald Spur Derby offers competitors a shorter but still challenging course.
