E whakaatu ana tēnei kauwhata i te pūnaha rūnanga i hangaia e Kāwana George Grey i te tau 1861. I meatia tēnei pūnaha mō ngā rohe Māori katoa e 20, ka mutu kei raro i ia rohe ko te kaikōmihana kāwana Pākehā. Ka wāwāhia anō ngā takiwā o te rohe, ki raro i ngā whakahaere o ngā rangatira, ngā kaiwhakawā Māori, ngā wātene Māori me ngā āpiha a te Māori. Ko te tokoiti noa iho o ngā rūnanga i whai hua.
