Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very close to fine copy. The book traces the development of Alfredton from its earliest days when the district was known as Moroa, describing the clearing of the land, early Māori history and pa sites, the sale of the Castlepoint Block, and the gr…adual establishment of farms, roads, and community institutions. It records the growth of the school, the church, local businesses, sports clubs, and the many families who shaped the district across a century. The narrative is built from contributions by residents, giving it the texture of a community speaking in its own voice, and the extensive lists—Crown grantees, school rolls, teachers, landowners, contractors, mill workers, postmistresses, and more—make it a valuable genealogical and regional reference. For cataloguing, you can describe it as a comprehensive centennial history of Alfredton and its surrounding district, covering settlement, land use, community life, and the evolution of the school from 1887 to 1987.
