Rival of Europeans. The subsequent introduction of firearms, which began in Northland, upset the balance of
power and led to devastating inter-tribal warfare, causing iwi who lacked the new weapons to seek refuge in areas less
exposed to coastal raids. As a result, the region had relatively low numbers of Maori when European settlement of New
Zealand began. There is, however, nothing to suggest that this was the result of a deliberate European policy.On 27
January 1832, Joseph Brooks Weller, eldest of the Weller brothers of Otago and Sydney bought land including the
sites of the modern cities of Auckland and North Shore and part of Rodney District, for "one large cask of powder"
from "Cohi Rangatira"
After the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in February 1840, the new Governor of New Zealand, William Hobson,
chose the area as his new capital, and named it after George Eden, Earl of Auckland, then Viceroy of India.The land
that Auckland was established on was given to the Governor by local Maori iwi Ngati Whatua, as a sign of goodwill and
in the hope that the building of a city would attract commercial and political opportunities for the iwi. Auckland was
officially declared New Zealand's capital in 1841,and the transfer of the administration from Russell (now Old Russell)
in the Bay of Islands was completed in 1842. However, even in 1840 Port Nicholson (later Wellington) was seen as a
better choice for an administrative capital because of its proximity to the South Island and Wellington became the
capital in 1865. Auckland was the principal city of the Auckland Province until the provincial system was abolished in
187

A Korean food-preparation factory on Auckland's North Shore is being investigated after reports of worker exploitation.
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment will investigate after a cross-agency operation in which the Labour Inspectorate, Immigration New Zealand and police visited the premises yesterday morning.
Labour Inspectorate northern regional manager David Milne said information received from police and the ministry's contact centre included workers being paid below the minimum wage and working up to 16 hours with few or no breaks.
"It has been found that the employer is unlawfully in New Zealand and he has since been detained by Immigration New Zealand," Milne said.
"The Labour Inspectorate has interviewed the factory's employees and at this early stage in the investigation we have identified breaches of the Employment Relations Act, with no employment agreements in place.
"The employer has been given a week to provide further information such as wage and time records before we progress the investigation further.
"Labour exploitation is not welcome in New Zealand and the ministry will not hesitate to take action to ensure our communities are free from this behaviour.
"For migrant business owners this could involve the ultimate consequence of deportation from New Zealand."
The ministry will analyse evidence over the next few weeks before deciding its next steps.

The Auckland metropolitan area, in the North Island of New Zealand, is the largest and most populous urban area in the
make this a highly recommended trip. Further away with plenty of good beaches, boutique accommodation, wineries and olive groves is Waiheke Island (45 min). Also worth a visit by ferry is Rangitoto (the large volcanic island that flanks the eastern horizon) - take good walking shoes, food and water to walk to the top - it can be very hot in summer - a bus service operates on some days for those that dont want to walk (enquire at the Britomart or ferry building information centre before setting out - and don't miss the last ferry back to the city as there is no accommodation on Rangitoto).
Popular areas on good bus routes include Ponsonby, Newmarket, Parnell, Mission Bay, Takapuna. A tourist explorer bus also completes a regular circuit of popular tourist sites. For travel to more distant suburban locations a car is recommended - many car hire firms have set up business in Auckland and rental rates are reasonable especially if renting for longer periods of time. Be aware that parking in Auckland can be complicated - make sure you read and understand parking control signs ( local government enforces parking fines and has no hesitation to have your vehicle towed). Be aware also of bus lanes (zones marked out on the road where only buses are permitted at certain times). These zones are also signposted but it can be easy to miss seeing them if concentrating on traffic. Fines are large and the authority administering is not tolerant.
The Auckland area was first settled by a confluence of Māori people of different tribes more than 700 years ago. From 1600 to 1750 the Tāmaki tribes terraced the volcanic cones, building pā(settlements behind protective palisades). Across the isthmus they developed 2,000 hectares of kūmara (sweet potato) gardens. These earthworks are easily seen on Mt Eden - a volcanic hill easily accessible from the CBD.
European settlement began in the early 1800s. The settlement resembled a shanty town in parts and ran along the gully in what is now Queen Street - alongside a creek (now under the road). The original shorelin
