Understand
The Hawke's Bay district is named after Hawke Bay, a large bay located on the eastern coast. Originally a province settled by British colonizers in the 19th century, this area is now known for its fertile land, perfect for farming. Over the years, the agriculture industry has diversified to include sheep, beef, dairy, forestry, orcharding, cropping, and a thriving vineyard industry, thanks to the warm, dry, and sunny climate.
