Russell, located in the Bay of Islands region of New Zealand's North Island, is a historic seaside town with significant cultural importance. Originally known as Kororāreka, it was the first permanent European settlement and seaport in New Zealand, established in the early 19th century. The town played a crucial role in the early colonial history of New Zealand and was once known as the 'Hellhole of the Pacific' due to its popularity with sailors and whalers.
Today, Russell is a peaceful tourist destination that preserves much of its colonial architecture and Māori heritage. The town features several historic buildings, including New Zealand's oldest surviving church, the Christ Church, and the country's oldest licensed hotel, the Duke of Marlborough. The local culture reflects a blend of Māori traditions and European colonial influences, making it an important site for understanding New Zealand's cultural development.
