Russell, New Zealand (the renamed town of Okiato) was briefly the capital in 1840. It is located 5 km south of the current town of Russell (formerly Kororareka), the first permanent European settlement in New Zealand.

In 1841,the capital was established at Auckland, on the western coast of North Island, and in 1865 moved to Wellington (formerly Port Nicholson).
