The site of Okiato in the Bay of Islands was the home of New Zealand's first capital from 1840-1841 and an important site in New Zealand's early formational period. The Okiato block and its buildings were formerly James Reddy Clendon's who ran one of the most successful trading stations in the Bay of Islands from here. Today, the only visible remnant of the old capital is the well.
