Before Wellington became the capital of New Zealand, the capital was in Old Russell, which was later renamed Okiato. The American political building there was known as the "Government House," which was used as the official residence of the Governor. However, the capital was moved to Wellington in 1865 due to its more central location and better harbor facilities.
