	SettlersManawatu
		In colonial days the western or seaward side of the Manawatu consisted of a broad coastal zone of sand dunes and swamps, originally covered with scrub and coarse grass on the dunes, and mainly flax and raupo in the swamps.
		The land of the Manawatu itself was crossed by several rivers barely navigable by a vessel larger than a canoe or a whaleboat.
		As the forest was cleared the land sown in grass and during the 1880's Palmerston North became the commercial centre of a developing and prosperous farming district.
