Original province


Between 1841 and 1846, the province included all the North Island north of the Patea River. With the passing of the New Zealand Constitution Act 1846, the province came to include all of the North Island. Like the other province of New Zealand at the time, New Munster Province, New Ulster Province was headed by a Lieutenant-Governor who reported to the Governor of New Zealand.



Abolition


In 1852, a new Constitution Act was passed, and the province was divided into Auckland, Wellington and New Plymouth provinces.



Lieutenant-Governors




  • George Dean Pitt (14 February 1848 – 8 January 1851)


  • Robert Henry Wynyard (26 April 1851 – 7 March 1853)
