Hatuma was one of the ridings of Waipukurau County Council. In the 1890s controversy raged for over a decade as to whether Woburn estate should be transferred from an absentee run holder to individual farmers. The change to Hatuma was made, but a historic house and remnants of a railway station are left from those days, as well as a lake of importance for wildlife and a more recent lime quarry to the south.
