Wadestown is a northern suburb of Wellington, (the capital city of New Zealand), located about 2–3 km by road from the Wellington central business district and the New Zealand Parliament Buildings. Wadestown is a largely residential suburb located on the northern flanks of Tinakori Hill (or Te Ahumairangi Hill), above the Ngaio Gorge. It includes an area on the eastern end of the suburb known as Highland Park. The suburb is hilly and includes Weld Street which is reportedly one of the steepest streets in Wellington.〔 ==Introduction== The suburb takes its name from John Wade, who arrived in Wellington in 1840 on the vessel "Integrity". In 1841, together with another early settler, James Watt, he acquired land in the area now known as Wadestown, and divided it into one and two-acre lots. There are still roads named Wade Street and Watt Street in the suburb. The suburb is a composite of the original Wadestown and the former suburb of Highland Park, which was naturally absorbed by population and housing growth over several decades. :''For further information see:'' (Wadestown History ) The Wadestown community has relatively high levels of education and income.
