  Otakou - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The settlement of Otakou lies within the boundaries of the city of Dunedin, New Zealand.
It is located 25 kilometres from the city centre at the eastern end of Otago Peninsula, close to the entrance of Otago Harbour.
Otakou is located close to Taiaroa Head, the site of an albatross colony and other wildlife such as seals and penguins.

It is also close to the site of one of the region's first European settlements, a whaling station founded in the 1830s.
Prior to the arrival of European settlers, Otakou was a prominent Maori settlement, and it is still the site of Otago's most important marae.
The name Otakou is thought to come from Maori words meaning either "single village" or "place of red earth".

 OTAKOU – OTAGO - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
Otakou means “the place where the red earth, or red ochre, abounds”.
Thus Otago was the Ngai Tahu pronunciation of the standard (northern) Maori Otakou and in this form was adopted by the early whalers and, later, by the Scottish settlers in the south.
It should be noted that the name Otakou appeared on the early maps, showing that the surveyors followed the northern mode of spelling.

 Ngai Tahu Land Report
The Otakou purchase followed several weeks of discussions and the agreement recorded in the deed, signed on 31 July 1844, transferred a clearly defined block to the New Zealand Company for the sum of œ2400.
The proclamation also provided that a tenth of the land "of fair average value as to position and quality" was to be conveyed to the Crown for "public purposes, especially the future benefit of the aborigines".
Colonel Wakefield decided to be present at the signing of the deed and travelled down to Otakou, with Symonds, George Clarke Jr, sub-protector of aborigines, and the land commissioner, William Spain.

Taiaroa encouraged traders to call at Otakou; he and Karetai began manufacturing dressed flax for Kent to ship to New South Wales, and trade increased rapidly, as did the Otakou population.
He was returning to Otakou, escorted by warriors from Kaiapoi, after a visit there, when the news of the attack by Ngati Toa on the pa reached him.
Ngai Tahu war parties from the Otakou area and the far south now carried war further north and fought with Ngati Toa in the Marlborough area, without either tribe's gaining a decisive victory.
