Home to approximately 67,000 residents and cherished by countless visitors, Napier, our bustling seaside city, commemorates a significant milestone this November as it marks 150 years since becoming a borough in 1874.
In November 1874, provincial superintendent J D Ormond sought to make Napier self-sufficient in its finances and administration, and central government granted Napier municipal status.
Come and celebrate the city we love with a number of commemoration events held between now and December, starting with Deco Lumina and Nuit Blanche this weekend!
