Nestled amidst the western hills of the Hutt Valley lies Korokoro. Korokoro is a charming suburb with a rich history. Established in the 1900s by the Liberal government, Korokoro was initially a small settlement. It remained so until the 1960s when the Lower Hutt City Council developed the area for private housing. Today, Korokoro is a thriving community with a population of around 1,630. Imagine the views from the eastern slopes of Korokoro, overlooking Petone and the sparkling waters of Wellington Harbour. The suburb itself is a mix of older homes and newer developments, all set against a backdrop of lush greenery. As you stroll through Korokoro’s quiet streets, you might stumble upon Korokoro School. Did you know that this co-educational state primary school first opened its doors all the way back in 1904? For over a century, it has been shaping young minds. Today it accommodates Year 1 to 8 students, a testament to the enduring spirit of this charming suburb.
