History of Flaxmill Bay:
In the late 1700s, Maori introduced the European visitors to the strong (and abundant) local flax and how it could be processed to make rope and other useful items. This led to a booming trade in flax fibre, flax stripping and processing from the late 1860s.
Flaxmill Bay (known at the time as Homestead Bay) had a flax mill based there for many years until the early 1900s when the demand for flax dropped and the industry in the area quickly dried up. This is thought to have been due to the more cost effective hemp market coming out of India.
