Currently New Zealand's seventh largest city and eighth largest urban area, Palmerston was named by European settlers during the mid-19th century in honor of Viscount Palmerston, a former Prime Minister of Great Britain. The Post Office added "North" to the name in 1871 so as to distinguish it from the Palmerston that is located on the South Island.
