NELSON

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 359 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NAN-NEW
NELSON , a seaport of New Zealand, the seat of a bishop and
capital
  of a provincial
district
  of the same name; at the head of Blind Bay on the northern coast of the
South
  Island. Pop. (1906) 8164. The woods and fields in the neighbourhood abound with English song-birds, and the streams are stocked with trout; while the orchards in the town and suburbs are famous for English kinds of fruit, and hops are extensively cultivated. The town possesses a small museum and art gallery, literary institute, government buildings, and boys' and girls' schools of high repute. The cathedral (Christ Church) is finely placed on a mound which was originally intended as a place of
refuge
  from hostile natives. It is built of
wood
 , the various native timbers being hap 'ily combined. Railways connect the harbour with the town, and the town with Motupiko, &c. The harbour, with extensive wharves, is protected by the long and remarkable Boulder Bank, whose southern portion forms the natural breakwater to that anchorage. The
settlement
  was planted by the New Zealand Company in 1842. The borough returns one member to the
house
  of representatives, and its local affairs are administered by a mayor and council.
