It is the seat of the Taupo District Council and lies in the southern Waikato Region. Taupo has a population of 22,300 (2006 census). In 1953, Taupo was officially constituted as a borough, but from 1989 it has been administered by the Taupo District Council, the district including both Taupo itself and the surrounding hinterland. Despite this, it is occasionally referred to as a city. The name Taupo comes from Maori Taupo--nui-a-Tia. Literally translated, it means "The great cloak of Tia" where Tia is the name of the discoverer of the lake. read full wikipedia reference about Taupo, New Zealand OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN NEW ZEALANDAuckland Bay of Islands Blenheim Christchurch Coromandel Dunedin Fox Glacier Greymouth Hamilton Hokitika Kaikoura Mount Cook Napier Nelson New Plymouth Paihia Queenstown Rotorua Taupo Teanau Wanaka Wanganui Wellington Whangarei |
