Capital of New Zealand
Wellington has been the Capital of New Zealand since 1865. New Zealand's first capital was Okiato or Old Russell in 1840-41. Auckland was the second capital from 1841 until 1865, when Parliament was permanently moved to Wellington after an argument that was had for one decade. As the members of parliament could not agree on the location of a more central capital, Wellington was decided on by three Australian commissioners.
