Monday marked the anniversary of the establishment of the Taranaki province, which originated 89 years ago in the settlement of New Plymouth. This was formed by the Plymouth Company of New Zealand in the year 1841. New Plymouth, which was then founded, being still the chief town. The boundaries of the province were defined by proclamation under the Constitution Act of New Zealand in the year 1852. Taranaki was at that time described as the province of “New Plymouth,” but the name was afterwards changed to "Taranaki” by act of the General Assembly of New Zealand in the year 1858.
