Description
English: The plaque reads:

In 1840 Govenor Hobson named this city after Lord Auckland from whom he had received command of H.M.S. Rattlesnake when Lord Auckland was First Lord of the Admiralty in 1834.

Lord Auckland served as Governor-General of India from 1835 to 1842 and this statue of him stood in Calcutta from 1848 to 1969 when it was presented by the government of West Bengal to the City of Auckland.

The transportation of the statue to Auckland and its erection on this stie was arranged and financed by The New Zealand Insurance Co. Ltd as a gift to its home city.
