Crofton

Crofton, the first station from Wellington on the Wellington-Manawatu Railway Company's line, is in the borough of Onslow, and is about three miles from Wellington. It is pleasantly situated in an elevated position—307 foot above sea level—in a valley on the Kaka hill, and is a favourite resort for picnic parties. At present there are not many residents in the village, but as the City grows Crofton will, no doubt, become a popular suburb. There is no post or telegraph office, and the nearest school is at Khandallah.
