TWW Comment

Originally known as Cooper's Bay, after the first Colonial Treasurer, George Cooper, then George's Bay, and finally St George's Bay. The Maori name for the area is Waiataikehu or Waiakehu. Was cut off from the sea in 1920 and then reclaimed. see: https://natlib.govt.nz/records/22601148 see: https://natlib.govt.nz/records/22802102
