∙ 15y agoIn December 1642, Dutch explorer Abel Tasman discovered New Zealand. The islands remained largely unknown until Captain James Cook sailed past in 1769 and explored the island, charting the coastline extensively. Following Cook's detailed report, the usual run of Whalers, missionaries, and traders followed.
In 1840, Britain formally annexed the islands, and New Zealand's first permanent European settlement was established on 22 January 1840. New Zealand was initially part of the Australian colony of New South Wales. It became a separate colony in 1841 and became self-governing in 1852.
