Hawera is the second-largest town in the Taranaki region of New Zealand's North Island. The name "Hawera" means "burnt place" in Te Reo Māori, referring to the remains of a Māori village destroyed by fire. The town serves as a significant service center for the surrounding farming community, particularly known for its dairy industry.

Hawera's cultural landscape includes the notable Tawhiti Museum, which provides insights into the local history and pioneering heritage of South Taranaki. The town's skyline is dominated by its iconic water tower, built in 1914, which stands as a testament to the town's historical development and serves as a distinctive landmark. The area has a rich Māori history and maintains strong connections to both its agricultural heritage and indigenous culture.
