Until 1839 there were only about 2,000 immigrants in New
Zealand; by 1852 there were about 28,000. The decisive moment for this
remarkable change was 1840. In that year the Treaty of Waitangi was
signed. This established British authority in European eyes, and gave
British immigrants legal rights as citizens. The treaty helped ensure that
for the next century and beyond, most immigrants to New Zealand would come
from the United Kingdom. It was also in 1840 that the first immigrants
assisted by the New Zealand Company arrived. The company introduced
long-term settlers directly from Britain, as opposed to those who
travelled across the Tasman simply to harvest resources or souls. Source
