Feilding

Built around a surveyed township established in 1874 by the Emigrant and Colonist’s Aid Corporation, Feilding grew into a rural service centre on the Manawatū Plains. The town lies in farming country west of the Ruahine Range, while the Manawatū River crosses the wider area to the south. Regular livestock sales at the Feilding Saleyards reflect agriculture’s continuing place in local life. Feilding is named for Colonel William Feilding, a company director associated with the settlement scheme. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Manawatū-Whanganui.
