Wallaceville is a suburb of Upper Hutt located in the lower North Island of New Zealand. It is named after John Howard Wallace (1816-91), an early New Zealand settler, local body politician, businessman and author of one of the first published histories of New Zealand. It is home to the oldest surviving wooden blockhouse in New Zealand.[1] AgResearch has its National Centre for Biosecurity and Infectious Diseases at Wallaceville.[2]
