Mairtown is a suburb of Whangārei, in Northland Region, New Zealand. It is about 2 kilometres north of the city centre.[3] Mair Park runs between Mairtown and the Hātea River.[4]
The area is named for the early settler Mair Family, including Gilbert Mair and his son Robert.[5] Robert donated the land which is now Mair Park to the city in 1914.[6] Tawatawhiti / Mair's Landing on the Hātea River is on the New Zealand Heritage List.[7]
