It grew up around the Affco freezing works, the meatworks that brought jobs and mana to the town and once sat on the railway line linking the Bay of Islands to Whangārei. When the works wound down in the 1980s the community answered with grassroots enterprise, including the He Iwi Kotahi Tatou Trust and the locally branded businesses that still carry the tuna (eel) symbol.
