The principal hapū is Te Whānau a Tauwhao of the Ngāi Te Rangi tribal collective. During the New Zealand Wars land was taken from Māori during a process known as raupatu or confiscation. The Katikati block was part of a contested and pressured sale to the Crown. The ‘Ulster Plantation' of Katikati with Ulster Scots settlers from County Tyrone in Ireland, was the brainchild of George Vesey Stewart from Martray Manor in Ballygawley, County Tyrone. He founded both the Katikati and Te Puke settlements. Most of the Katikati settlers arrived in the ships Carisbrooke Castle (1875) and Lady Jocelyn (1878). Land had been set aside on a hill covered in fern for a Cemetery Reserve between the Mania and Rereatukahia Rivers. The first burial took place on 9 November 1878 and was of Rev. John Crossley who died on 5 November. The first six burials were as follows; 1878, November 5: Rev. John Crossley 1873, September 30: Dorothy Major 1886, September 9: Capt. Mervyn Stewart 1887, February 17: Robert MacDonnell 1887, February 27: Christiana Elizabeth Wahab 1887, December 1: Rev. John Mark In 2010 the cemetery underwent a major restoration which included the installation of white crosses for previously unmarked graves and the repair of many historic headstones. The Legion of Frontiersmen J Troop, led by Captain Val Baker, won the 2010 TrustPower Western Bay of Plenty Community Awards for the restoration of the Katikati Cemetery. Val and others were interviewed by a crew from TVNZ 6 for the program 'Volunteer Power'.
