wakefield, new zealand

The small New Zealand community of Wakefield is situated some 25 km south west of Nelson at the top of the South Island. First settled in about 1843, it was originally called Pitfure. However the name was soon changed to Wakefield. This name was after the town of Wakefield in Yorkshire, and not - as many assume - after Captain Arthur Wakefield who led the expedition that first established Nelson City and Province.
