As Governor of New Zealand in the mid 19th century, Grey led Aotearoa into the largest conflicts of the New Zealand Wars.
After his two terms as Governor ended, he became a political giant who influenced an entire generation of future leaders. He also played a huge role in the history of South Australia and South Africa.
For decades his nickname was “Good Governor Grey”. A reference to his reputation as an enlightened humanitarian, a champion of liberalism, and a defender of indigenous rights.
Today, his name graces everything from Greymouth to Grey Lynn.
