History

• Established	1885
• Disestablished	1989

Ohinemuri County was one of the counties of New Zealand of the North Island.

The Ohinemuri County Council first met on 17 November 1885.^[1] It was formed from a portion of Thames County.^[2] A 1919 petition^[3] resulted in loss of the western part of the area^[4] to a new Hauraki Plains County in 1920.^[5]

The county was abolished through the 1989 local government reforms.^[6]

The population was 1,516 in 1891,^[7] 3,056 in 1945^[8] and 5,579 in 1986.^[9]

In 1923 Ohinemuri County covered 253 mi² (660 km²) and had a population of 2,678, with 66 mi (106 km) of gravel roads, 55 mi (89 km) of mud roads and 50 mi (80 km) of tracks.^[10]

The 1911 Italianate county offices at 41 Belmont Road, Paeroa, were used by the county until 1986. They are now used by Hauraki Māori Trust Board and protected by an A Category listing in Hauraki District Plan.^[11]
