The New Zealand Company purchased the Otago block from Ngāi Tahu dignitaries on 31 July 1844, opening the way for large-scale European settlement in Otago on Wakefield lines. The Otago Settlement, sponsored by the Free Church of Scotland, took concrete form in Otago in March 1848 with the arrival of the first two immigrant ships from Greenock (on the Firth of Clyde) — the John Wickliffe and the Philip Laing. Captain William Cargill, a veteran of the Peninsular War, served as the colony's first leader, and in 1853 Otago citizens elected him to the office of the first Superintendent of the Province of Otago.
