The flats were opened for settlement in 1886, and once a road and a bridge over the Oroua arrived in 1896 the township grew shops, a school, a hall and a dairy factory as sawmillers cleared ahead of the farmers. The mills have long gone, but the views to the Ruahine and the steep sheep and cattle country remain the making of the place.
