WANGANUI

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 303 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
WANGANUI , the principal port on the west
coast
  of North
Island
 , New Zealand, in the Waitotara county, at the mouth of the Wanganui river, 134 M. by rail N. of
Wellington
 . Pop. (1906) 8175. The town is laid out in rectangular blocks at the foot of low hills, from the summit of which (as in Queen's Gardens) a splendid panorama is seen, including the snow-clad
Mount
  Ruapehu to the north-
east
 . The river bar obstructs navigation, the depth not exceeding 14 ft., so that large vessels must lie outside. The
district
  is agricultural and
pastoral
 , and wool and grain are exported, as well as meat and dairy produce, for which there are large refrigerating works. The Wanganui Collegiate School (Church of England) is one of the largest boarding schools in
Australasia
 . The
district
  was the scene of conflicts with the natives in 1847, 1864 and 1868, and in the beautiful Moutoa gardens a
monument
  commemorates the battle of that name (May 14th, 1864). The
settlement
  was founded in 1842.
