|Heritage > Miramar/Seatoun| Miramar means "Behold the sea" or
"Wonderful Sea" and was named by the first settler on Watt's
peninsula area, resident James Coutts Crawford, who arrived in
Wellington in 1840. In 1872 he changed the name of Watt's
Pennisula to Miramar. Miramar was the name of a house built for
him by his brother-in-law, Major McBarnett. The original Maori
name of the area was Whataitai. On 18 November 1904, the Miramar
Borough was formed.| Seatoun was developed by James Coutts
Crawford in 1879, and the name originates from a place in
Forfarshire (UK) which was owned by the Crawford family. Ataturk
