The original Hokianga Arch of Remembrance was dedicated on 26 January 1927. After being damaged by trucks gaining access to the wharf in the 1950s, it was moved to the sports field and modified with some gates. Recently, the arch has been moved back to approximately the original site near the wharf, and has had additional names of those who fell in the Second World War and Vietnam War added.
