Cracroft, New Zealand

Cracroft is a south-west suburb of Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand.

Cracroft was named for John Cracroft Wilson,[1] who settled in this part of Christchurch at the bottom of the Port Hills Range in 1854.

[2] The Cracroft Residents' Association started lobbying for Cracroft to become a suburb in 1993, and the New Zealand Geographic Board gazetted the suburb in 1999, splitting the area from Cashmere.
