Wanganui, New Zealand

Wanganui, New Zealand is officially spelled Whanganui; however, the Government decided that either spelling is acceptable. Whanganui will be used by Crown agencies. Whanganui was the preferred Maori spelling of the word.

Wanganui is located on New Zealand’s North Island, on the west coast and is included in the Manawatu-Whanganui region. Although it was designated a city in 1989, it is now run by District Council. Many of the area’s countrymen still regard it as a city. Its location on the South Taranaki Bight is near the Whanganui River, 200 kilometres to Wellington’s north. The territorial population, at a June 2012 estimate, is 43,200 people.

Before the arrival of Europeans, Maori settlements were in place along the mouth of the river. Intertribal strife was rampant in the early 19th century. Europeans arrived in 1831, with missionaries arriving in 1840. When the New Zealand Company had settled nearby Wellington, they began seeking new places for settlers. A town was founded in 1840 and named for a Company director, Lord Petre. After the town had been in existence for over 8 years, an accord was finally reached with the Maori inhabitants.
