CAVE Reference:
Cyclopedia of New Zealand, Canterbury edition. Vol. 3 pages 945-946 Published 1903.
CAVE derives its name from the interesting Maori caves in its neighbourhood. It is on the Tengawai river and about twenty-two miles by rail from Timaru, on the Timaru-Fairlie line. The station stands 507 feet above the sea. There is a post and telegraph office near the railway station, and a public school. The district is said to abound in trout and hares, and is a very pleasant place to spend a holiday. At the census of 1901 Cave had a population of eighty-eight. The district is devoted to agriculture and sheep farming. The Cave Post Office and Telephone Bureau conducted at the railway station. The postal department has been represented here since the land around was first opened up, and the telephone communication was established in August, 1901. Mails are received and dispatched daily. The Public School at Cave dates from the early eighties. The building is of wood and iron, and contains one class room and a porch, with accommodation for forty pupils. There are twenty names on the roll, and the average attendance is eighteen. Five acres of land are connected with the school premises, and there is a comfortable five roomed residence.
