Glorit is a rural community in the Auckland Region of New Zealand's North Island. State Highway 16 runs through the area, connecting to Tauhoa 12 km to the north and Helensville to the south.[1][2]
The settlement was established in 1868 and celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2018.[3]
Two marae are located south of the main settlement: Araparera Marae or Te Aroha Pā and its Kia Mahara meeting house, and Kakanui Marae and Te Kia Ora meeting house.[4] Both are tribal meeting grounds for Ngāti Rāngo, Ngāti Whātua and Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara.[5]
