The North River is a stream in the Northland Region, New Zealand. It flows through limestone caves before entering the Pohuenui River, which in turn flows into the Waipu River before this emerges into Bream Bay near Waipu. There are rainbow and some brown trout in the stream. [1] The North River lends its name to a locality [2] and a forest. [3]
The early European settlers in the area were Scottish immigrants from Nova Scotia and the river was named after the North River in Victoria county, on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. [4] North River School provided education to the area from 1860 to 1939. The local language would have been Gaelic when the school opened. [5]
