Background

Polish settlers began arriving in the South Island of New Zealand during the 1870s , as part of an influx of immigrants from the United Kingdom and other parts of Europe. Many of these settlers worked and lived in the Taieri Plain area, undertaking farming and infrastructure work. Notably, many early Polish settlers worked on drainage infrastructure to enable increased agricultural use of the Taieri Plain area. While many Polish settlers worked and lived in the Taieri Plain area, many others were involved in settling other parts of the city.
