Originally known as Kororareka, Russell, on the Bay of Islands, was an important whaling and trading centre in the early nineteenth century, but is now a deep-sea fishing and tourist resort. A few miles further into the Bay of Islands at Okiato is the site of old Russell, the first seat of the New Zealand Government. Russell has never featured as a farming centre. From adjacent inlets small supplies of cream are collected by launch, and a few bales of wool are shipped out.
