Is winchester in england historically linked to winchester in new zealand? |
Travel Info Is winchester in england historically linked to winchester in new zealand? Travel Tips no, not at all 100% certain Others no but its linked to the Winchester repeating rifle I'm sure it is, since many cities in the United States share a similar name to cities/towns in England. When the Europeans were first settling this country, they used place names from home to make them feel more comfortable. However, what the specific link is, I don't know. I couldn't find much historical information on Winchester, Canterbury, New Zealand. i don't know for certain but i would say yes many people who came ( were sent ) to Australia decided to name the places where they lived after the places that they used to live they did the same in America other examples of this are Boston and New York in America Marlborough and Adelaide in Australia me |
