Provenance of Land
Wellington Monthly Meeting Premises
- by Lucas Davies and Quentin Abraham
Wellington Monthly Meeting’s premises sit at the head of the Moncrieff Street cul-de-sa
c in the Mount Victoria suburb. Prior to the 1820s, Mount Victoria was mainly inhabited by descendants of the explorer Whātonga, including Ngāi Tara, Ngāti Ira, Rangitāne, Muaūpoko, and Ngāti Apa. The name Whanganui-a-Tara derives from the name of Whātonga’s son, Tara, who first settled in Wellington harbour hundreds of years ago.
In the 1820s, various Taranaki Māori -- led by the rangatira Te Rauparaha and his family -- invaded and settled
in Whanganui-a-Tara, marrying into the descendants of Whātonga. At the time the New Zealand Company
arrived in Whanganui-a-Tara in 1839, there was still ongoing dispute between the iwi and hapū living here
about who had mana whenua over different parts of the harbour.
