Pāuatahanui is a village in New Zealand's North Island. It is at the far eastern end of what was known as the Pāuatahanui Inlet, an arm of the Porirua Harbour, northeast of Wellington. In local government terms, Pauatahanui is part of the Northern Ward of Porirua City.
Early settlement and history After Te Rangihaeata was beaten in the 1846 Hutt Valley Campaign the area became safer as a route from the Hutt Valley via Belmont and Judgeford and on to the north, via Paekakariki to the Manawatu and Wanganui. The road from Wellington reached Pauatahanui in September 1848, and a reliable road to the north as far as Paekakariki was completed by November 1849. Known nowadays as the "Paekakariki Hill Road", it continued to be the main road north until the road bridge was built at Paremata in 1939. Access from the Hutt Valley was also upgraded to a road in 1873, and the road that was to become State Highway 58 from Haywards was established in the 1870s.
The first non-denominational Protestant chapel was built about 1856, and from 1861 Anglican services were held by a visiting clergyman once a fortnight. Congregations dwindled with an Anglican church built. It became tumbledown, and was demolished around 1910. Other churches were St Joseph's Catholic Church (1878) and St Alban's Anglican Church (1898).
The first hotel was constructed in 1847 by former whalers Edward Boulton and Thomas Wilson. Burned down in 1859, it was replaced by a fourteen-room Boultons Hotel. From 1865 other hotels were the Horokiwi Hotel, the Pauatahanui Hotel, the Empire Hotel and the Junction Hotel, largely to serve the Cobb and Co stagecoach traffic. In the 1911 electoral redistribution the area was transferred from the Otaki electorate to the new Wellington Suburbs and Country electorate, and no longer had William Field as a MP. The new electorate was "dry" as the precursor Wellington Suburbs electorate had already voted "dry" in the 1908 election (no alcohol).
A community hall was built in 1904. It was demolished in 1966 and replaced.
In World War II the US Marines had four camps in the Pauatahanui area; at Judgeford, at the Porirua side of the foot of the Haywards Hill, at Motukaraka, and in the Moonshine Valley. The Judgedford camp accommodated 3,755 men, the Moonshine camp had a recreation hall and a vehicle servicing depot, and the Haywards camp had a large theatre for the troops. Apart from a few huts for officers, most of the marines were in bell tents.
Environmental preservation
Pauatahanui Inlet In the early 1970s the development of sections at Whitby on the south of the Pauatahanui Inlet caused noticeable silting and raised community concerns. This ultimately led to a detailed 3-year environmental study in 1975–1977, which was published as a book in 1980. Subsequently the Pauatahanui Wildlife Reserve was created, in 1984, in order to preserve the only large estuarine wetland left in the lower North Island. The wetland reserve is run by the Royal Forest and Bird Society with ongoing efforts to reduce human impact on the environment and to restore damaged areas. The reserve has several hides for viewing birdlife, boardwalks, and some barbecue / picnic areas for visitors.
Education Pauatahanui School is notable as being one of the very few schools in New Zealand to be over 150 years old. It was established in 1855, originally in an undenominational chapel on the site of Rangihaeata's Pa, and later in the military barracks vacated by the troops. It is now increasing its pupil numbers because it serves the north-east corner of Whitby. As of March 2019, Pauatahanui School has a roll of 182 students from Years 1 to 8 (ages 5 to 12). The nearest secondary schools to Pauatahanui are Aotea College in Aotea and Porirua College in Cannons Creek, both roughly 8.5 km away.
Road links State Highway 58 skims the southern fringe of the village: to the east it leads to Judgeford, just up the valley, and over the hills to Lower Hutt in the Hutt Valley; and to the west it travels along the southern shore of the Pauatahanui Inlet skirting Whitby and through Golden Gate to meet New Zealand's most important road, State Highway 1, at Paremata at the mouth of the Inlet.
To the north, the shortest but generally not the fastest route to Paekakariki is the Paekakariki Hill Road mentioned above, serving the fertile Horokiri Valley. Branching off that road just beyond the urban limit is Grays Road, leading to Plimmerton.
Notable buildings
St Alban's Church and cemetery (refer list of burials below). St Alban's Church, built in 1898, in Pauatahanui, Porirua is the second church to be built in Pauatahanui, New Zealand. St Alban's Church was listed by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust as a Category 2 historic place in 1983. Pauatahanui has a group of regionally significant 19th century buildings. They include St Alban's Church, St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, Thomas Stace Cottage, Barrys Place Historical Cottage and the Taylor-Stace Cottage.
Built in 1847, Taylor-Stace Cottage is the Wellington region's oldest surviving house, origianlly built by William and Ann Taylor nee May.
The former community hall (erected in 1967) was leased to a local company in 2003 and converted into the Lighthouse Cinema, the only cinema in Porirua's northeastern area.

MONUMENTAL INSCRIPTIONS AT THE PAUATAHANUI BURIAL GROUND
PAUATAHANUI, PORIRUA CITY Prepared by Sharon Evans, a member of the Burial Ground Management Committee March 2011 ______________________________________________________________________ The Pauatahanui Burial Ground occupies .34 of a hectare on the southern edge of Pauatahanui village in Porirua City. It is reached by using the driveway leading from Paekakariki Hill Road to St. Alban’s Church, the driveway entrance being immediately to the left of the war memorial. The Burial Ground is behind a tall hedge on the right side of the driveway, while the church and its cemetery are on the left side. The Burial Ground was established on land donated by the STACE family in 1856. A Trust was set up to own and administer the burial ground. In 2004, a process was started which was designed to allow the Porirua City Council to become the owner, and for the Council and local residents to share responsibility for maintenance. This process culminated in the passage of the Porirua City Council (Pauatahanui Burial Ground) Act 2007. The Council’s archives became the repository for records associated with the Burial Ground. The legal processes necessary to close the Burial Ground to further burials were completed in December 2004, although there will be a small number of burials in the future, in plots already purchased, and interment of ashes in existing plots where feasible. The first burial with a surviving headstone, that of 26-year old Maria BRADEY, took place in 1860, and the most recent was the interment of the ashes of John Barrie GLASSON in 2009. Below is a transcription of the information on the headstones and plaques on the graves in the burial ground. A transcription in 2004 updated that carried out by the New Zealand Society of Genealogists in 1979. Burial records for this burial ground are incomplete, and are not presented here. The 2004 transcription was carried out by the following members of the Porirua Branch of the New Zealand Society of Genealogists: Ross Bonnell, Pam Edmonds, Sharon Evans, Cliff Matthews, Lorraine Matthews and Heather Mountjoy. The transcription was updated in November 2008 to include 28 probable graves which were identified by a ground-penetrating radar survey in June 2008. They are shown in this transcription as [Probable grave]. The transcription was updated in 2010 to correct some spelling errors, and to include hearsay information about three plots which have no headstones. The descriptions of these plots are in italics. The transcription was further updated in 2011 to include the inscription on the SHARP grave. The plot numbers in this transcription correspond to those on the plan produced by the Porirua City Council labeled “Pauatahanui Burial Ground/ Pauatahanui, Porirua/March 2010. PRESENTATION OF INFORMATION Surnames are shown in upper case letters. Square brackets [ ] are used to denote information which is not on any headstone but which is relevant to the nature or situation of the grave. Curly brackets { } are used to denote information on headstones which is likely to be the name of the firm of stonemasons which made the headstone. Plots which have been paid for, but not yet used, are described as ‘Pre-purchased plot’. There are 126 plots in 16 rows. There are several types of plot. The most common is a built grave with one or more headstones. Other types are: a built grave with no headstone; a headstone with no built structure; an area with a wooden or ironwork fence and no headstone; a probable grave with nothing visible above ground; and a bare plot that has been purchased for future use. Each type of plot may cover more than one burial.
