About 50 [[Māori Land Act|Māori land blocks]] are located between Himatangi and [[Foxton, New Zealand|Foxton]] to the south.<ref name="maoriland">{{cite web |title=Visualising Māori Land – Himatangi |url=https://whenuaviz.landcareresearch.co.nz/place/76585 |website=whenuaviz.landcareresearch.co.nz |publisher=Landcare New Zealand}}</ref>

==History==

The area was largely undeveloped with rough terrain in 1942, according to a photograph held in the [[National Library of New Zealand]].<ref name="aerialmapping">{{cite web |last1=NZ Aerial Mapping Ltd |title=Himitangi |url=https://natlib.govt.nz/records/36179789 |website=natlib.govt.nz |publisher=[[National Library of New Zealand]]}}</ref>

Himatangi was once the location of the junction between the [[New Zealand Railways Department]]'s [[Foxton Branch]] [[railway]] and the Manawatu County Council's [[Sanson Tramway]]. Both lines are now closed; use of the Tramway ceased in 1945, followed by the Branch in 1959.

In 2005, a study found agricultural pesticides were being rapidly leached into the sandy soil at Himatangi.<ref name="mclose">{{cite journal |last1=Close |first1=Murray |title=Field study of pesticide leaching in a Himatangi sand (Manawatu) and in a Kiripaka bouldery clay loam (Northland) |journal=Australian Journal of Soil Research |date=January 2005 |volume=43 |issue=4}}</ref>

In 2009, planning approval was granted for the building of a piggery after the landowner agreed to reduce from what he originally proposed.<ref name="piggery">{{cite news |title=Green light for Himatangi piggery |url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/news/735375/Green-light-for-Himatangi-piggery |agency=[[Manawatu Standard]] |publisher=[[Stuff (website)|Stuff]] |date=31 January 2009}}</ref>

In 2014, the community was used as a trial community for the [[Horizons Regional Council]]'s emergency readiness plan. The landowner and New Zealand Pork Board had been considering legal action through the [[Environment Court]].<ref name="civildefence">{{cite news |title=Himatangi first up for community readiness |url=https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/AK1402/S00541/himatangi-first-up-for-community-readiness.htm |agency=[[Horizons Regional Council]] |date=24 February 2014}}</ref>

In 2019 a regional bus service between [[Levin, New Zealand|Levin]] and [[Palmerston North]] was introduced, providing a weekly return service between Himatangi and [[Foxton, New Zealand|Foxton]].<ref name="busservice">{{cite web |title=New off-peak bus services from Levin to Palmerston North |url=https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/AK1908/S00005/new-off-peak-bus-services-from-levin-to-palmerston-north.htm |publisher=[[Horizons Regional Council]]}}</ref>
