Ngatea is the main town of the Hauraki Plains, its name a form of the Māori Ngā Ate, meaning the heart or centre. The whole district was once a flood plain of swamp and kahikatea forest, transformed into farmland by the government's Hauraki Plains drainage scheme of canals, stopbanks and floodgates from 1908. Sitting on the Piako River where it was once the river's busiest port, Ngatea is now a service stop on the road between Thames and Paeroa.
