 Wellington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wellington (Te Whanganui-a-Tara or Poneke in Māori) is the capital of New Zealand, the country's second largest urban area and the most populous national capital in Oceania.
Wellington is in the Wellington Region and stands at the southern tip of the North Island in the geographical centre of the country.
Wellington is the southernmost national capital city in the world, with a latitude about 41°S. It is more densely populated than most other settlements in New Zealand, due to the small amount of building space available between the harbour and the surrounding hills.
