Riverton, or Aparima, is the oldest European settlement in Southland and Otago, sitting on the Jacobs River Estuary about 30 kilometres west of Invercargill. Long before the whaler John Howell set up a station here in the 1830s, it was home to a substantial Māori pā drawn by the harbour's plentiful seafood. Fishing remains central to the town of around 1,700, which markets itself as the 'Riviera of the South' for its beaches and coastal light.
