Vogeltown is a hillside suburb of Wellington , New Zealand , on the eastern slopes of Brooklyn and overlooking Newtown . It is sometimes considered part of Mornington .

At the council review of suburb boundaries in the early 21st Century , it nearly suffered absorption into adjacent suburbs.

The name Vogeltown derives from Sir Julius Vogel , author, entrepreneur, and premier of New Zealand from April 1873 until July 1875 . In 1867 , Vogel married Mary Clayton, daughter of architect Sir William Clayton , who gifted the couple Finnimore House. This house is still located at the top of Hutchison Road in Vogeltown. The estate has been subdivided several times.
