Hardcover. Condition: VG+. Dust Jacket Condition: VG+. 1st. Sub-titled "The Land, the Lake and the People 1864-1964" this local history marks two important milestones --- the centennial of local government in the Ellesmere district and the amalgamation in 1963 of the council with adjacent local authorities. This well produced and well written book records the development of the district from its ancient Maori connection to the first European associations from the 1840s, leading to early settlers, including run and runholders, the development of agriculture and associated activities and the advent of community organisations, including the various boards from which the county council evolved in 1911.
