The town of Blenheim is located in the central North Island of New Zealand. It was incorporated as a borough on March 6, 1869. The town's first councillors were elected on 15 May of that year. The town's first mayor was F. J. Litchfield. Early sentiment called for the mayor to be directly elected by the ratepayers, but no legislation permitted this. In this case, the council conducted a poll and elected a mayor based on the results.
The city's population is roughly one thousand fifty-five hundred, up 84 people from the previous census and 42 from the previous one. The population is made up of 453 households, with 606 males and 543 females. The median age was 37 years old, ranging from 15 to 45 years of age. A population density of eighty-six people per square kilometer is considered low.
The town is also home to several single-sex secondary schools. The Marlborough Boys' College is located on the former coeducational Marlborough College site. In addition, Blenheim City is home to the NMIT, which offers courses in aviation and viticulture. During the winter months, the town is a beautiful place to spend the day.
