Akaroa's industries have included timber milling, the export of cocksfoot grass seed, fishing, dairying and cheese making, sheep farming, and always tourism.

Three successive waves of Maori have inhabited the Akaroa area since their arrival in NZ: the Waitaha, the Kati Mamoe and then from the early 17th century, the Ngai Tahu.
