Vaila Place in Woolston – Named after Vaila, one of the Shetland Islands of Scotland. The Thomson family emigrated to Stewart Island in the 1860s from Vaila. A descendant is a director of
the company that carried out the subdivision. Named in 2013.
A small amount of information from the library website. The name Vaila either means foreign isle or valley.
This street is in the Port Link Business Park and the area is still being developed. I was geocaching in the area and decided to walk a couple of streets. There is a new cycleway being built in the area.
