Rotorua’s human history began in the mid-1300s, with the arrival of the Te Arawa canoe at Maketu on the nearby Bay of Plenty coastline. Legend has it that Lehenga, a young Te Arawa warrior, accidentally discovered Rotorua. Rotorua was built in the early 1880s by the government, as a town for tourists visiting the ‘hot lakes.’ It was laid out on the Pukeroa-Oruawhata block, land leased from Ngati Whakaue near the Maori lakeside settlement of Ohianemutu. Some famous locations in Rotorua include; Te Puia, Lake Rotorua / Te Rotorua Nui a Kahumatamomoe, Polynesian Spa, Government Gardens, Kuirau Park, Mount Tarawera and several others.
