Tokoroa

Tokoroa combines a planned township layout with the industrious character of a forestry centre in a way that reflects its position on the central North Island volcanic plateau. Plantation forests are integral to the wider South Waikato setting, while the Waikato River runs through the district to the east. The town grew rapidly in the mid-20th century alongside the Kinleith pulp and paper mill, an industry that remains central to its identity. Tokoroa’s distinctive Talking Poles—carved timber works installed around the town centre—bring local stories into public spaces.
