Blenheim (/ËblÉnÉªm/ ; MÄori: Waiharakeke) is the most populous town in the region of Marlborough, in the north east of the South Island of New Zealand. It has an urban population of 30,200 (June 2014 estimate).The surrounding area is well known as a centre of New Zealand's wine industry.lenheim sits at the confluence of the Taylor and Opawa rivers. It is in a tectonically active zone and experiences several (usually small) earthquakes each year. The boundary between the Pacific plate (on which Blenheim sits) and the Indo-Australian plate passes just north of Blenheim.
Blenheim has gone down in history as one of the turning points of the War of the Spanish Succession. Bavaria was knocked out of the war, and Louis's hopes for a quick victory came to an end. France suffered over 30,000 casualties including the commander-in-chief, Marshal Tallard, who was taken captive to England.art of the Battle of Blenheim tapestry at Blenheim Palace by Judocus de Vos.
