In older times, a city required a certain population (20 000?) OR the possession of a Cathedral. The Christchurch Cathedral was started (I think) in 1879. [Earthquake damaged in in construction 1879, and again in 1881, 1888, 1901, and the recent series.] Nelson City was another that gained city status because of it having a Cathedral, even though it had a low population.
