DYK AND TIQ

Did you know…

… that today is New Zealand Settlers Day? The first settlers from Great Britain came to New Zealand on January 22, 1840. New Zealand became a British colony four months later. Originally part of the Australian colony of New South Wales, New Zealand became a separate colony in 1841 and was made self-governing in 1852. Dominion status was attained in 1907, and full independence was granted in 1931 and ratified by New Zealand in 1947.
