According to Maori Historians the first the people who first lived in the Kerikeri district, were attacked and driven away by a war party of Ngapuhi. Then the first European settler were the missionaries: James Kemp, Francis Hall and John Butler. As well as teaching and preaching, they farmed and gardened.
