Nelson New Zealand

Nelson is a city on the eastern shores of Tasman Bay, and is the economic and cultural centre of the Nelson-Tasman region. Established in 1841, it is the second oldest settled city in New Zealand and the oldest in the South Island.

Nelson received its name in honour of the Admiral Horatio Nelson who defeated both the French and Spanish fleets at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Many of the roads and public areas around the city are named after people and ships associated with that battle and Trafalgar Street is the main shopping axis of the city. Inhabitants of Nelson are referred to as Nelsonians.

Nelson is well known for its arts and crafts, and each year hosts popular events such as the Nelson Arts Festival. The annualWearable Art Awards began near Nelson and a museum, World of Wearable Art, is now housed close to Nelson Airportshowcasing winning designs.

Nelson's Māori name, Whakatū,^[2] means 'build', 'raise', or 'establish'. Nelson is one of the few New Zealand cities to have its own flag.
