As New Zealand’s fifth most populous city, Tauranga brings together a long Māori history and a more recent European chapter. Māori settled the coastal Bay of Plenty city in the late 13th century, Europeans arrived in the early 19th century, and Tauranga gained city status in 1963. Its urban population of 160,900 makes up roughly 3% of the country’s total.
