A Brief History of New Zealand

The indigenous Eastern Polynesian peoples, commonly known as the Maoris, considered New Zealand as The Land of the Long White Cloud. The country offers geographically diverse picturesque panoramas of snow-capped mountain terrains, unsullied beaches, immense plains, abundant forests, and dramatic geothermal fields.

New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean and located east of Australia. There are only approximately four million inhabitants. Experts and scholars believed that New Zealand is one of the last landmasses where humans settled due to its remoteness. It is made up of two main islands – South Island and North Island – and numerous smaller islands divided by th 23 km wide Cook Strait.

North Island History Overview

Historians and ethnologists from the nineteenth and twentieth century believed that Kupe, a Polynesian explorer, first discovered North Island in the year 925. Legend stated that he disturbed a massive octopus which led him to the discovery of the Cook Strait. However, some scholars thought that constellations and ocean currents served as his navigational tools to locate the island.

The North Island is the smaller islet compared to South Island, but it consists of three-fourths of the population of New Zealand. It is composed of twelve cosmopolitan cities including New Plymouth, Hamilton, Auckland, Hastings, Napier, Palmerston North, Whanganui, Whangarei, Gisborne, Rotorua, Tauranga, and its capital, Wellington. It is a land with a flourishing diverse culture, pristine beaches, volcanic landscapes, picturesque seascapes, and spectacular vineyards and boutiques.

Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer, first visited New Zealand in 1642 with his crew, but it was Captain James Cook, a British explorer, who mapped the entire coastline of the island in 1769. In 1840, a conflict arose between the British government and the Maori settlers when the former established a settlement at the island and signed a treaty with the Maoris. They restored peace in the 1870s after a 12-year war for the control of the North Island.

South Island History Overview

South Island, or TeWaipounamu in Maori, is the larger main island with an area of approximately 150,437 square kilometers, yet it only consists of 25% of the population of New Zealand. It is situated on the northern part of the Cook Strait up to the western Tasman Sea and bordered on the southeast by the Pacific Ocean. Scholars believed that Waitahaihi inhabitants were the first settlers of the South Island. According to historical accounts, Rakahautu, the founding ancestor of the Waitaha tribe, discovered the South Island when he divided the heavens and ocean using his giant adze and incantation. They eventually landed on the top of Whakatu (Nelson) and started consecrating the land with the aid of their ancestors.

Today, the government divides the South Island into six district regions which include the Tasman, Malborough, the West Coast, Otago and Southland, Nelson, and Canterbury. The island has several breathtaking views, diverse wildlife, and alpine landscapes such as Canterbury Plains, Southern Alps, Fiordland National Park, Milford Sound, Mount Cook, Mount Taranaki, and Tongariro Alpine Crossing to name a few.
