INVERCARGILL

This article appears in Volume V14, Page 718 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: I27-INV
INVERCARGILL , the
chief
  town of Southland county,
South
  Island, New Zealand, 139 M. by rail S.W. by W. from Dunedin. Pop. (1906) 7299. It lies on a deep estuary of the
south
  coast named New River Harbour, which receives several streams famous for trout-fishing. It is the centre of the large grazing and farming
district
  of Southland; and has a number of factories, including breweries, foundries, woollen mills and timber-works. The plan of the town is rectangular, with wide streets; and there is a fine open reserve. The harbour is deep and well sheltered, but the greater part of the trade passes through the neighbouring Bluff Harbour, on which is Campbelltown, 17 M. S. of Invercargill by rail. Bluff Harbour is the port of
call
  and departure for steamers for Melbourne and
Hobart
 . Exports are wool, preserved meat and timber. The
district
  of Southland was surveyed in 1841, but was reported unfavourable, and
settlement
  was delayed till 1857. Southland was a
separate
  province between 1860 and 187o, but, failing financially as such, rejoined the parent province of Otago. Invercargill became a municipality in 187;1, and there are five suburban municipalities. The town is the regular starting-point of a journey to the famous lakes Wakatipu and Te Anau, which are approached by rail.
