Levin

Tucked between Lake Horowhenua and the Tararua Range, Levin is a place whose character is shaped by the fertile Horowhenua plain. The lake is closely associated with Muaūpoko, the mana whenua of this district, and remains an important marker of the area’s Māori heritage. Developed around the Wellington–Manawatu railway in the late 19th century, the town took its name from Wellington merchant William Hort Levin. Its broad streets and role as a service centre for surrounding farmland give Levin a practical, settled rhythm, while the range to the east marks the transition towards the central North Island.
