The Pa was called Tauranga Mirumiru and was home to the Ngati Apakura.[3] The site of the Pa is located on a local dairy farm.

In Paterangi lies the largest peat lake in the Waikato, Lake Ngaroto. Translated into English, Ngaroto simply means 'the lake.' In Lake Ngaroto the wooden carving identified as the Maori rainbow god 'Uenuku' was found. Uenuku now rests in the Te Awamutu Museum.[4]

William James Scott, a Scottish-born Canadian politician moved to Paterangi in 1867 and established himself as a wealthy landowner.[5]
