| Found in | Historic Tolaga Bay, ©2006: back panel (Why Tolaga Bay? Is it the same as Uawa? Captain James Cook named this place Tolaga Bay; the spellings Tologo, Tolago and Tologa have all been used. Buckley was the official name of the township from the mid 1890s but never caught on, except on Government maps and in the name of the two banks. But the post office remained as Tolaga Bay, and the name was officially gazetted in 1924) New Zealand gazetteer, via WWW, viewed on April 6, 2023: search for place names (Tolaga Bay; an official name; town; location: 38.371S 178.300E; other name for this feature: Buckley) New Zealand History WWW site, viewed on April 6, 2023: Tolaga Bay page (Tolaga Bay; Township 55 km north of Gisborne. The district was known to its original inhabitants as Ūawa. The township was established in 1875 on the Ūawa River. Cook named Ūawa Tolaga Bay, possibly misinterpreting a word (te raki) referring to a north wind blowing into the bay. In 1894 it was named Buckley, after Patrick Buckley, the then colonial secretary, but the name was rarely used) |
