From the NZ archives:
"The valley is good grazing and agricultural country, and the climate is noted for its dryness, purity and healthfulness."
" The Hakataramea Valley is in the Hakataramea riding of the Waimate county, and in the electorate of Waitaki."
"The Hakataramea Valley is part of the South Canterbury high country, with broad mountain landscapes."
"The Hakataramea district is noted as a happy hunting ground for sportsmen; trout swarm in the river, and Paradise ducks and hares are said to abound in thousands."
Lit: haka: dance; taramea: speargrass. The name commemorates a dance that took place near the mouth of the river, in which the performers wore bags made from the skin of the whekau (a native owl that is now extinct) filled with sweet-scented gum from the flower stalks of the taramea.
