Kapiti Coast United is an association football club in New Zealand. Their home ground is Weka Park in Raumati Beach on the Kapiti Coast. The club was formed by a merger of the Kapiti Hearts and Paraparaumu United in 2003. The Kapiti Hearts, founded as the Raumati Hearts in 1960, were named after Heart of Midlothian F.C., an Edinburgh soccer team commonly known as Hearts. Waikanae's football team was invited to join the merger but declined.

“Too many Broadway actors in motion pictures lost their grip on success—had a feeling that none of it had ever happened on that sun-drenched coast, that the coast itself did not exist, there was no California. It had dropped away like a hasty dream and nothing could ever have been like the things they thought they remembered.”
—Mae West (1892–1980)
“... the yearly expenses of the existing religious system ... exceed in these United States twenty millions of dollars. Twenty millions! For teaching what? Things unseen and causes unknown!... Twenty millions would more than suffice to make us wise; and alas! do they not more than suffice to make us foolish?”
—Frances Wright (1795–1852)
