A few kilometers south of New Plymouth is the old immigrant settlement of Hurworth, which still preserves a small homestead built in 1855 by Harry Atkinson (1831-92), an opponent of Governor Gray who played a prominent part in the Taranaki land war and later became a highly respected politician (three times premier of New Zealand).
