The Manawatū Branch of the Royal Society Te Apārangi was formed on 29 June 1904 as the Manawatu Philosophical Society. Since its first president, Kenneth Wilson, who moved to Palmerston North to open a private high school, the Branch has enjoyed a diverse community of farmers, teachers, engineers, lawyers and dentists on its Council as well as academics and research scientists. Its members have been actively involved in the foundation of Te Manawa and the Fonterra Manawatū Science and Technology Fair, and the Branch’s first telescope can be found in the Manawatū Observatory.
