The Streets of Paekākāriki

The Streets of Paekākāriki looks at the historical development of this small village on New Zealand’s Kāpiti Coast. Michael O’Leary traces the origins from early Māori settlement through to the arrival of European settlers and the establishment of its modern streets. With historical maps, photographs, and personal accounts, the book provides a thoughtful perspective on how cultural and social forces have shaped the identity of Paekākāriki.
