Invercargill, Administrative city in Southland Region, New Zealand

Invercargill stands at the southernmost point of New Zealand's South Island, with Victorian and Edwardian architecture defining the urban landscape.

The European settlement of Invercargill began in 1853 when Walter Mantell negotiated land acquisition from local Māori tribes for development.

The main streets bear the names of Scottish rivers such as Dee, Tay, Tweed, and Forth, reflecting the strong Scottish influence in the region.

The Invercargill City Council maintains several parks, museums, and recreational facilities, including an indoor velodrome and Rugby Park Stadium.

The Invercargill Licensing Trust manages liquor distribution while funding community projects through proceeds from its retail operations.
