Moera
Moera, a suburb of the city of Lower Hutt in New Zealand, forms part of the urban area of greater Wellington. Location Located at the south-eastern end of the Hutt River, the suburb's name Moera is thought to be a simplification of Moe-i-te-ra, meaning "sleeping in the sun". History Prior to European settlement, the Moera area was part of a large tidal estuary at the mouth of the Awamutu and Waiwhetū Streams. The southern side of Waiwhetū Stream contained a number of Ngati Ira villages. In 1843 William Trotter settled in the area and established a fruit garden and nursery. The 1855 Wairarapa earthquake raised the Hutt Valley from 1 to 2 metres, thus draining the swampy estuary.

Influence To house workers almost 600 kitset homes were built to a simple 5 room layout. T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
