Scotts Landing
History
Casnell Island (Motu Maunganui), accessible from Scotts Landing at low tide via a causeway, was a pā site in the 16th century.
In 1852, the Scott homestead was constructed, later burning down in a fire. This was replaced by a new Georgian-style house, built in 1877.
Mahurangi Heads School operated from 1869. It closed in the 1920s or 1930s, but the school building was still standing about 1941.
