List of historic places in Upper Hutt

Upper Hutt is a city and territorial authority of New Zealand located within the Wellington Region, on the southern coast of the North Island. Initially inhabited by the Māori, it was acquired by British settlers as part of the 1839 Port Nicholson Purchase Deed. Settlers moved into the valley in the late 1840s, with a small town forming in the area by the 1850s. Initially a small farming community, it was connected to Wellington by the Wairarapa Line in the mid-1870s. Incorporated as a city in 1966, it now functions as a bedroom community of Wellington.[1][2]

Heritage New Zealand classification of sites on the New Zealand Heritage List / Rārangi Kōrero, in accordance with the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014, distinguishes between Category 1 ("places of special or outstanding historical or cultural significance") and Category 2 ("places of historic or cultural significance"). Sites important to Māori communities are given special classifications, although none of these sites are located within Upper Hutt. Locales containing a number of related significant places are listed as historic areas.[3][4] Twelve historic sites within Upper Hutt are included on the Heritage List, including four Category 1 sites, seven Category 2 sites, and one historic area.[4] The historic area, the Remutaka Incline Rail Trail, crosses into part of neighbouring South Wairarapa District.[5]
