Āpiti
Āpiti is a small township in the North Island of New Zealand. It is located to the northeast of the small town of Kimbolton in the Manawatū-Whanganui region. It is located on a small plain, the Apiti Flats, close to the valley and gorge of the Oroua River, and close to the foot of the Ruahine Range.[1]
Āpiti was settled in 1886 and has a population of 226.[1] Although its industry has historically always been pastoral farming, it is now also known by tourists and trampers as a gateway to the Ruahine Range.[2]
In July 2020, the name of the locality was officially gazetted as Āpiti by the New Zealand Geographic Board.[3]
Education
Āpiti School is a co-educational state primary school,[4][5] with a roll of 19 as of February 2024.[6]
