Clive is a small town, ten kilometres from the city centres of both Napier and Hastings in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand's North Island. It is close to the mouth of the Ngaruroro River.
The town, which has a population of 2247 at the 2018 census,[2] is part of the Hastings district. It was named (like many of the towns in the vicinity) after a prominent person from imperial India, in this case Robert Clive, better known as "Clive of India". The name was given by John Curling.[3]
The town of Clive is mainly rural, yet with the increasing number of people moving into Hawke's Bay, and Clive being at the meeting point of Hastings and Napier, new subdivisions are being built to accommodate the growing population.
Clive is home to the Hawke's Bay Rowing Club who train on the Clive River.[4] The Hawke's Bay Rowing Regatta is held on the first weekend of the year and was started in 1872.[5]
The town has two marae. Kohupātiki Marae and Tanenuiarangi meeting house are a meeting place of the Ngāti Kahungunu hapū of Ngati Hōri and Ngāti Toaharapaki. Matahiwi Marae and Te Matau a Māui meeting house are a meeting place of the Ngāti Kahungunu hapū of Ngāti Hāwea and Ngāti Kautere.[6][7]
