The rural area of Koromatua is located to the north, near the Hamilton suburb of Temple View.
The Ngāhinapōuri area and surrounding Ōhaupō, Te Rore and Harapēpē area were military outposts during the Waikato War. Military fortifications were built at the settlement and nearby Tuhikaramea and Te Rore in December 1863; Another fortification was built to the north-east, north of Ōhaupō, in April 1864.
The earliest European settlers in this area were Bohemian militiamen from the Pūhoi settlement north of Auckland. As of 2015, many descendants of these militiamen still lived in the area.
The area was previously serviced by the nearby Ohaupo railway station on the North Island Main Trunk
A nine-hole golf course has been operating in the settlement since the 1940s.
