Foxton (Te Awahou) grew up on the flax trade, milling the swamps of the lower Manawatū into rope and matting that shipped from its river port. That history lives on at Te Awahou Nieuwe Stroom, the riverside cultural centre that also tells the town's Dutch settler story beneath the sails of the De Molen windmill, a full-size working replica. Foxton Beach, a few minutes away at the river mouth, adds a long stretch of west coast sand and a fishing community.
