'''Hautapu''' is a township in the [[Waipa District]] and [[Waikato]] region of New Zealand's [[North Island]], located just north of [[Cambridge, New Zealand|Cambridge]] across [[State Highway 1 (New Zealand)|State Highway 1]].
The area was identified as the Hautapu Parish on a militia farm map published in 1864 during the [[Waikato War]], named after the Hautapu Rapids which previously occupied the site of the current [[Karapiro Power Station]]. The Hautapu Cemetery was established in June 1866.<ref name="parker">{{cite web |last1=Parker |first1=Eris |title=Hautapu |url=https://cambridgemuseum.org.nz/hautapu/ |website=cambridgemuseum.org.nz |publisher=Cambridge Museum}}</ref>
A [[Fonterra]] dairy factory is a key feature of the township. The factory was proposed in August 1884 and began processing milk on 20 December 1884 as the Cambridge Produce and Dairy Factory. In 1886, the factory was sold to new owners and was expanded to produce butter, cheese and bacon after running into problems with milk supplies. In 1901, it was sold to a new dairy co-operative which replaced the factory with a new brick factory in 1908. The factory began specialising in cheese in 1915, and came under the ownership of the new national dairy co-operative in 1919.<ref name="parker" /><ref name="touristalbum">{{cite book |title=Tourist Department album 2 (circa 1905 to 1912) |publisher=New Zealand Tourist and Publicity Department |location=[[National Library of New Zealand]]}}</ref>
