2. John Robert Godley and the founding of Canterbury (Christchurch City Libraries). "John Robert Godley is known as the Founder of Canterbury even though he lived here for only two and a half years. Without his leadership the Canterbury Association back in England would have controlled the settlement more. The way in which Godley led the settlement helped establish the strong farming base and prosperity Canterbury has always relied on." (Submitted on October 26, 2017.)
