Blacksmiths came to New Zealand primarily during the 19th century as part of the broader European colonization and settlement efforts. They sought opportunities in the growing economy, driven by the demands of agriculture, mining, and infrastructure development. Blacksmiths provided essential services, crafting tools, horseshoes, and various metal goods that supported the burgeoning communities and industries in the region. Their skills were vital to the settlers' adaptation and success in the new environment.
