Boulcott is a central suburb of Lower Hutt, in the Wellington Region of New Zealand. The suburb lies about a kilometre north-east of the Lower Hutt CBD.
Boulcott takes its name from Almon Boulcott (1815–1880), who farmed in the area in the 1840s.[3] His father, John Ellerker Boulcott (1784–1855), was a director of the New Zealand Company.[4]Armed conflict took place in the area at Boulcott's Farm in 1846 during the Hutt Valley Campaign.
Two Lower Hutt hospitals; Hutt Hospital and Boulcott Hospital, lie in Boulcott.
