Wellington (Te Whanganui-a-Tara
or Poneke) is the capital city of New Zealand, the country's second-largest
urban area and the most populous national capital city in Oceania.
Wellington stands at the southern tip of the North Island in the
geographical centre of the country.
New Zealand's major financial institutions
are divided between Wellington and Auckland, and some organisations
have headquarters in both cities. It is New Zealand's political
centre, housing Parliament and head offices for all government departments
and ministries. Wellington is often described as New Zealand's cultural
centre, boasting a world-class film and theatre industry, Te Papa
(the Museum of New Zealand), the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra
and the Royal New Zealand Ballet. Its compact city centre supports
an arts scene, café culture and nightlife much larger than
most cities of a similar size.
Wellington was named in honour of Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke
of Wellington and victor at the Battle of Waterloo. The Duke's title
comes from the town of Wellington in the English county of Somerset.
In the Maori language Wellington goes by two names. Te Whanganui-a-Tara
refers to Wellington Harbour and means "the great harbour of
Tara". The alternative name Poneke is often discouraged because
of a belief that it is nothing more than a transliteration of the
harbour's former nickname in English, Port Nick, short for Port
Nicholson.
Like many cities, Wellington's urban area extends well beyond the
boundaries of a single local authority. Greater Wellington or the
Wellington Region means the entire urban area, plus the rural parts
of the cities and the Kapiti Coast, and across the Rimutaka Range
to the Wairarapa.
As at the last census, 18.5% of people in Wellington were under
the age of 15 years, compared with 22.7% for all of New Zealand.
Around 8.6% of people were aged 65 years and over compared with
12.1% for all of New Zealand.
85.6% of people in Wellington city said they are of European ethnic
origin. Around 4.1% are Maori, with the remainder being of Pacific
Islander, Asian or other ethnicity.
