High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Waitara is the name of a town and a river in the northern part of the Taranaki region of the North Island of New Zealand. Waitara is located just off State Highway 3, 15 km northeast of New Plymouth.The population was 6288 in the 2006 Census, an increase of 42 from 2001.The town was the site of the outbreak of the Taranaki Wars in 1860 following the attempted purchase of land for English settlers from its M ori owners. Disputes over land that was subsequently confiscated by the Government continue to this day.The commonly accepted meaning of the name Waitara is "mountain stream", though Maori legend also states that it was originally Whai-tara - "path of the dart". In 1867 the settlement was named Raleigh, after Sir Walter Raleigh. It reverted to its former name with the establishment of the borough of Waitara in 1904.
