Changing county origins of Irish immigrants (1st of 5)
These maps show the different counties in Ireland from which New Zealand’s Irish immigrants emigrated. In the period 1840–53 most came from the area around Dublin, where a number of soldiers were recruited, and from Munster in the south-west, where the famine had hit hard. At this stage the numbers from Ulster, in the north-east, were not great.
