Tongariro National Park in the North Island of NZ was created very early in NZ's history (1887) by Chieftain Te Heuheu of Tuwharetoa gifting the land for that purpose. Perhaps the 4th National Park in the world.
In NZ this park is conspicuous in that almost all of its features still carry their original Maori names, though there are a few that carry descriptive names given by surveyors. Such as Pyramid and Pinnacle Ridge.
So Ruapehu, Tongariro, and Ngaruahoe, the three major volcanoes have always carried those names.
