The plant was one of New Zealand’s most advanced in its time (1980). The factory closed after amalgamating with Kiwi Dairies in 1983.
History: Midhirst is named after James Hirst, an early settler.
York Road, 2 km north of Midhirst, leads to Taranaki Maunga (Mount Taranaki/Egmont) National Park. In the park, the York Road Loop Track follows the Egmont branch line railway, laid about 1905–6 to carry road metal from a quarry on the mountain. The line was finally closed in 1951 after years of decline.
