History

Piako was a rural Waikato electorate from 1946 to 1954, then from 1957 to 1978 - when it was renamed Matamata. In 1996 Matamata was renamed Karapiro.

Piako was resurrected for the 2002 general election, replacing Karapiro.

Under boundary changes for the 2008 general election, Piako will cease to exist as an electorate. Its population centres will be distributed among the neighbouring seats of Hunua and Papakura. Officially, Piako will be replaced on paper by the seat of Waikato.

Piako and its predecessors have always been considered safe National seats. They were held by Jack Luxton from 1966 to 1987, then his son John Luxton from 1987 to 1999, then by Lindsay Tisch from 1999 to 2008.
