Russell, New Zealand’s first European settlement, in the Bay of Islands. Originally the Maori village of Kororareka, Russell was once an important trading centre for whalers, traders and adventurers. It was the destination of the first Christian missionaries sent to New Zealand and the site of the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. Russell’s sunny climate and scenic attractions have made it one of the country’s principal tourist centres, and it is also a world-renowned big-game fishing base.
