High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Hamilton is the centre of New Zealand's fourth largest urban area, and Hamilton City is the country's seventh largest territorial authority. Hamilton is in the Waikato region of the North Island, approximately 130 km south of Auckland. It sits at a major road and rail nexus in the centre of the Waikato basin, on both banks of the Waikato River. The area now covered by the city was originally the site of a handful of Maori villages, including Pukete,Miropiko and Kirikiriroa, from which the city takes its Maori name. Local Maori were the target of raids by Ngapuhi during the Musket Wars , and several pa sites from this period can still be found beside the Waikato River. By the time British settlers arrived after 1863, most of these villages had been abandoned. Missionaries arrived in the area in the 1830s. At the end of the Waikato Campaign in the New Zealand Wars the four regiments of the Waikato Militia were settled as a peace-keeping force across the region. The 1st Regiment was at Tauranga, the 2nd at Pirongia, the 3rd at Cambridge and the 4th at Hamilton.
