Tokatoka in the Otameta County 1905
Irish founder of the river town, Joseph Dargaville, became wealthy trading in timber and gum through his Dargaville store. When he sold part of the business he concentrated on political life in Auckland City. Pioneering days have gone from Kaipara, those times when
large ships headed out loaded with logs, when tough bushmen and gum diggers came into town for a break and life was controlled by the state of the tide. Those old timers would have told you that the tide has turned and is flowing fast again.
