Turua is a Maori place name meaning "twice seen," referring to reflections in the river.
Before European settlement, the town site was a Maori pa surrounded by vast forests of kahikatea that came to be known as the "Turua Woods." In the late 19th century the village of Turua became one of the most important sites of kahikatea exploitation in New Zealand when the family of George and Martha Bagnall bought the Turua sawmill in 1875. Over the next forty years the stands of kahikatea surrounding the town were replaced by small family farms.
The Turua Jetty was officially opened by His Worship the Mayor, John Tregidga, on Sunday, August 14 2005. Located in the Waihou River at Turua, alongside an existing boat ramp, the main aim of the jetty is to facilitate safe boat-launching and retrieval for recreational boaties.
