The Halswell River is a river in the Canterbury Region of New Zealand. It rises in the Port Hills south of Christchurch and flows south into Lake Ellesmere.[1] Parts of the river originally had the Māori names of Huritini (meaning "many turns"), Te Tau Awa a Maka and Te Heru o Kahukura.[2] The river was renamed for Edmund Storr Halswell, who was a member of the management committee of the Canterbury Association and arrived in New Zealand in 1841.[3]
