Marton, New Zealand is situated in the southern part of North Island in an area known as Rangitikei, about 2½ hours by road from the capital, Wellington and about half way between the much larger towns of Palmerston North and Wanganui. It was founded in 1866 and originally known as Tutaenui. In 1869 local citizens changed the name to Marton to honour the home village of Captain James Cook in Yorkshire, marking his landing in New Zealand exactly 100 years earlier.
