	Taihape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taihape is often the butt of jokes owing to its "one horse, blink and you'll miss it" reputation and the back-country nature of its inhabitants.
		Taihape is a rural supply town and at its peak during the 1960s, was a bustling railway town and transport hub for the surrounding farming community.
		Taihape's second claim to fame is due to it being regarded (along with Eketahuna) as being the archetypical small New Zealand farming town.
