Horohoro is a farming district 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south-west of Rotorua, New Zealand. It was one of the first areas in Āpirana Ngata’s 1929 land development scheme, which established farms on Māori land.[1] Horohoro’s full name is Te horohoroinga o-ngā-ringaringa-a-Kahumatamomoe, named after an incident where the explorer Kahumatamomoe was cleansed by a priest after he touched the dead body of an important chief.[2]
