Korokoro was established in the 1900s by the Liberal government (in office 1891–1912), and remained a relatively small settlement until the Lower Hutt City Council developed the area for private housing in the 1960s.[3][failed verification]. Before 1989, Korokoro formed part of the Petone Borough,[4] which amalgamated with Lower Hutt City in that year.[5]
