Fitzroy (Māori: Poutūtaki)[3] is a coastal suburb of New Plymouth, in the western North Island of New Zealand.
The area was initially named the Fitzroy Block after Governor Robert FitzRoy reduced the land purchased by the Plymouth Company from local Māori from 25,000 hectares (62,000 acres) to 1,500 hectares (3,700 acres) in the mid-1840s.
[4] Holy Trinity Church in Henui Street is listed as a Category I structure with Heritage New Zealand.
Before the 2023 census, the Fitzroy-Glen Avon statistical area covered 16.98 km2 (6.56 sq mi).
Although some people chose not to answer the census's question about religious affiliation, 54.2% had no religion, 33.6% were Christian, 0.3% had Māori religious beliefs, 0.3% were Hindu, 1.1% were Muslim, 0.5% were Buddhist and 1.6% had other religions.
