		The Waipa River is the major tributary of the Waikato River, the junction being at Ngaruawahia.
		Before the arrival of white settlers and during the early period of their occupation, the Waipa River (possibly meaning “the river of fortified villages”) was an important access route to the western margin of “The Waikato”, to the Raglan County, and to the “King Country” which lies to the south of the Puniu River.
		Now the Waipa is no longer used for transportation and the neighbouring farm land is almost wholly used for the dairy industries.
