GISBORNE

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 52 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GEO-GNU
GISBORNE , a seaport of New Zealand, in Cook county, provincial
district
  of Auckland, on Poverty Bay of the
east
 
coast
  of North
Island
 . Pop. (1901) 2733; (1906)5664. Wool, frozen mutton and agricultural produce are exported from the
rich
 
district
  surrounding. Petroleum has been discovered in the neighbourhood, and about 40 M. from the town there are warm medicinal springs. Near the site of Gisborne Captain Cook landed in 1769, and gave Poverty Bay its name from his inability to obtain supplies owing to the hostility of the natives.
Young
  Nick's Head, the southern horn of the bay, was named from Nicholas
Young
 , his ship's boy, who first observed it.
