Hamilton is the largest inland city of New Zealand with 130000 populations. It is one of the richest farmlands of the world. It spreads across the Waikato River in the heart of the lush Waikato plains. The prime feature of the city is its restful river side parks.

With time Hamilton has grown up as farming and administrative centre with large number of industries, farming experimentation, research, and a major university. The city has a long tradition of diary farming. In recent years, it is giving way to goat and deer farming, orchard farming and berry and market gardening.
