     Europeans arrived in the area in the 19th century and initiated negotiations with ruling the Ngati-Whatua tribe to establish the capital of the colony. The negotiations paid off with success and Auckland was the capital until 1865 when capital credentials moved to Wellington. After that, it concentrated on commerce and developed into the world largest geographically, but least populated city with land twice size of London and population barely more than million.

     The city's population is really diverse because of immigrants who relocated there for low-skilled work. Despite work possibilities declined, ethnic makeup includes the largest population of Pacific Islanders outside their homes - 152,508 people and 56.6 percent European, 18.9 percent Asian and on.
