Hunterville is a small farming town on State Highway 1 in the Rangitīkei, established in 1884 and named after George Hunter, who is said to have walked from Wellington to peg out the spot. It calls itself the Huntaway Capital of the World, with a bronze statue of the loud, hard-working farm dog standing proudly in the town centre. Every October the streets fill for the Shepherds' Shemozzle, a chaotic dog-and-shepherd obstacle race that has run since 1998.
