'''Auckland''' is New Zealand's largest city, having a population approaching 1,300,000. By virtue of its unique location astride a narrow neck of land between two harbours, the city is almost surrounded by water. On the north and Pacific side is the Waitemata Harbour, while the Manukau Harbour is on the south and Tasman side. A notable feature of Auckland's landscape is the numerous extinct volcanic cones which rise above the skyline–Mount Eden, Mount Hobson, Mount Albert, One Tree Hill, and Mount Wellington. Rangitoto Island, also an extinct volcano, stands as a sentinel at the entrance of the Waitemata Harbour. Through north and south the city extends for 20 miles–from the east coast bays on the North Shore, and over the Harbour Bridge to the dormitory suburbs of Papatoetoe, Papakura, and Manurewa, south of the city. The city has a far-ranging importance as the chief centre for the rich farming land of the Waikato to the south and of the lesser developed Northland to the north. Even greater is its importance as a manufacturing centre, port, and centre of overseas communications.

The city of Auckland, which is New Zealand's most religious region, is projected to grow in population due to religious immigrants and the higher fertility rate of religious immigrants (See: [[Auckland, New Zealand will grow in influence and population in New Zealand due to Christian, Muslim and Hindu immigrants and the higher fertility rate of religious immigrants]]).

The town of Auckland was founded on 18 September 1840 on a site selected by Governor William Hobson. Hobson was influenced in his choice of site by four factors: its central position between the then two main areas of European settlement, Port Nicholson (Wellington) and Kororareka, and the two main areas of Maori population, the Waikato and Northland; the great facility of internal water communication to north and south; the facility and safety of its port, and the proximity of several smaller ports abounding with valuable timber; and the natural fertility of the soil for agriculture. The settlement was named after George Eden, Earl of Auckland, Governor-General of India, a friend of Hobson's under whom he had served.

The city Auckland and harbor

Auckland (Māori: Tāmaki Makaurau) is the largest city in New Zealand, located on the North Island. It is a city of 1,652,000 people. It is colloquially known as the "City of Sails" due to the high number of yachts and its favorable conditions for sailing. It hosted the America's Cup in 2000 and 2004. It also hosted the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Auckland has the largest population of Polynesian people in the world. It is located on an isthmus between two harbors, the Manukau and Waitemata. Due to its significant urban sprawl, Auckland had four administrative regions; Auckland city, Waitakere city, Manukau city and North Shore city which were combined in 2010 into a single administrative body. As of October 2022, Auckland's mayor is Wayne Brown.[1]

The city of Auckland, which is New Zealand's most religious region, is projected to grow in population due to religious immigrants and the higher fertility rate of religious immigrants (See: Auckland, New Zealand will grow in influence and population in New Zealand due to Christian, Muslim and Hindu immigrants and the higher fertility rate of religious immigrants).

Auckland is situated in an area with 56 extinct volcanoes. This resulted in heavy indigenous inhabitation, as the volcanoes produced fertile land and easily defensible terrain. St Vincent's church was built in the metropolitan area between 1907 and 1909, and marked the strength of the Roman Catholic faith to Auckland. In addition, it was also the site of the death of the Catholic missionary to England in the 19th century who received Edward Newman into the Catholic faith.

Economy

In the mid 20th century, Auckland was also center of iron making industry, manufacturing much bog iron from the numerous swamps in the surrounding area. The iron industry in Auckland produced a variety of goods including stoves tacks (Field Tack Company) and machinery. Founded by Thomas Pearce which produced machinery for the textile industry, as well as steam locomotives. The Auckland locomotive region also operated in the city during this time.

Covid Lockdowns

See also: Covid lockdown

Throughout the CCP global pandemic in New Zealand, dictator Jacinda Ardern put Auckland through multiple totalitarian lockdowns, many of them lasting for months.[2] Auckland experienced more lockdowns that any other parts of the country because of its high population and great numbers of isolation concentration camps, known euphemistically as MIQ for "Managed Isolation and Quarantine".[3][4] The longest lockdown that the people of Auckland suffered through started on August 17, 2021, and "ended" on December 2, 2021.[2] However, the Ardern regime implemented an apartheid-like system to keep, what they perceived as the dirty unvaccinated (similar to Hitler's rhetoric on Jews), out of public places such as events, restaurants, and churches. This system was implemented by giving the vaccinated brainwashed masses a "vaccine pass" that they need to show through the My Vaccine Pass app to participate in everyday life.[5]
