Riverton, also known as Aparima in Māori, is one of the oldest European settlements in New Zealand, located in the Southland region of the South Island. Founded in the 1830s as a whaling station, the town has evolved into a peaceful coastal community situated at the mouth of the Aparima River. The area holds significant cultural importance, blending both European settler history and Māori heritage.
The town's rich maritime history is reflected in its architecture and local museums, while its natural setting between Foveaux Strait and the river has made it a notable location for both historical artifacts and artistic inspiration. Today, Riverton serves as a hub for local arts and crafts, with several galleries and workshops showcasing regional talents. The town's heritage buildings and historical sites provide visitors with insights into early New Zealand settlement life and the development of the Southland region.
