**Fort Parramatta** was the name given to a fort north of [Wellington](/source/Wellington), [New Zealand](/source/New_Zealand), in the 1840s.[1] It was built 1846-47. The earthquakes of 1848 and 1855 reduced the building to a ruinous condition.[2] The remains of the fort are still visible on the Ngatitoa Domain in [Porirua City](/source/Porirua), but the surrounding suburb name has been changed to "[Paremata](/source/Paremata)".
