ALICETOWN

Initially a farming settlement, Alicetown was settled from the early 1900s by workers from Petone’s factories. Situated next to the main railway and road to Wellington city, the suburb also attracted warehousing and light industry.

Alicetown was named for Alice Maud Fitzherbert, the daughter of mayor William Fitzherbert.

Please use stealth as this is a busy area, and people could arrive from any direction.
