ABOUT
The history of one of New Zealand's finest cities, Auckland.
Commissioned by the Auckland City Council, it serves as the first comprehensive attempt to record the urban development, civic evolution, and social history of New Zealand's largest city from its European founding up to the early 20th century.
Spans from 1840, the foundational watershed year when Auckland was established as the colonial capital of New Zealand, to 1920, charting the city's transformation into a major commercial hub.
