New Zealand is an inner-city suburb of Derby in Derbyshire, England. It is surrounded by the Mackworth Estate, Rowditch and The West End suburbs. New Zealand also incorporates an area called the Morley Estate.
It is named after a farm belonging to the Chandos-Pole family which formerly stood in this area of Derby. The farm was originally named to commemorate the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, which established a British Government in New Zealand.[1]
