Karori

Karori is a suburb located at the western edge of the urban area of Wellington, New Zealand, 4 km from the city centre〔 and is one of New Zealand's biggest suburbs having a population of over 14,000 at the time of the 2013 census.〔
==History==
The name Karori means ‘the rope of bird snares’ in Te Reo Māori.
The area was uninhabited by Māori when the first European settlers came to Karori in the 1840s, having bought the land from the New Zealand Company. The first settler in Karori was John Yule of Glasgow, who cleared 20 acres of forest on his section with his younger brother Moses and advertised its sale in December 1841. By 1845, ten 100-acre sections were being taken up and sub-divided and Karori recorded 215 inhabitants - 109 of them under the age of 14 years old.〔
A small fortified post was constructed in 1845 by a group of armed police from Wellington that became known as “The Stockade” in response to fears of attacks from nearby Māori insurgents. While there were no attacks, the stockade was used for a church service and was used to grind grain.〔
The first mental hospital in Wellington was built in 1854.〔 By 1871 it had 23 inmates and was run by untrained staff which resulted in the first matron and her husband being dismissed in 1872 because of cruelty.〔 In 1873 the asylum was moved from Karori to the site of present-day Government House.〔 The asylum site was taken over by Karori school in 1875.〔
Kaori in the 1850s was described by Frederick Mackie in his book "Traveller under concern":
:''"The walk was highly romantic. The road is cut out of the sides of steep hills covered with forest. The ever-winding road, the steep declivities, the forest above and below you, and the continual murmur of streams concealed in the depths below were very pleasing, as every few yards a new scene and fresh objects were brought to view. In one spot I obtained a view of the harbour, which today was like a bright glassy lake, and beyond it were the lofty ranges of the snow-clad Rimutaka and Tararuas, partly glistening in the sun and partly shrouded in cloud."''
