Description
Kuripapango showing hotels on both sides of the river
From “The History of Farming at Kuripapango” by the NZ Forest Service, 1984 – ‘In 1882 two hotels were opened at Kuripapango. One, owned by Alexander MacDonald, was on the western side of the Ngaruroro, and the other, owned by J. G. Kinross, was on the eastern side….Before very long, however, the Maori owner of the land on which MacDonald’s hotel stood introduced prohibition on his property. MacDonald then purchased Kinross’ hotel and moved his own across the river to stand next to Kinross’. The two buildings then became known as the Kuripapango Hotel, and formed the core of the small but prosperous community centred around MacDonald’s business enterprises.’
