Wellington /ˈwɛlɪŋtən/ (
Māori: Te Whanganui-a-Tara) is the
capital city and second
most populous urban area of
New Zealand, with 412,500 residents.
[3] It is at the south-western tip of the
North Island, between
Cook Strait and the
Rimutaka Range. Wellington is the major population centre of the southern North Island and is the administrative centre of the
Wellington Region, which also includes the
Kapiti Coast and
Wairarapa. It is the world's windiest city, with an average wind speed of over 26 km/h,

sovereign state.

The Wellington urban area comprises four
local authorities:
Wellington City, on the peninsula between Cook Strait and
Wellington Harbour, contains the central business district and about half the population;
Porirua on
Porirua Harbour to the north is notable for its large
Māori and
Pacific Island communities;
Lower Hutt and
Upper Hutt are largely suburban areas to the northeast, together known as the
Hutt Valley.
