James Dilworth (15 August 1815 – 23 December 1894) was a New Zealand farmer, investor, speculator and philanthropist. He was born in Donaghmore, County Tyrone, Ireland, on 15 August 1815 and attended the nearby Royal School, Dungannon, where a blue plaque was unveiled in his memory on 7 October 2014, by the Ulster History Circle.[1]

Political career

Dilworth was elected to the first Auckland Provincial Council for the Southern Division electorate in August 1853. He remained a member of the provincial council until September 1861.[2]

Charitable work

The Dilworth Trust Board was the benefactor of the estate of Dilworth,[3] who received his legal advice from the solicitor Samuel Jackson.[4] The trust funds Dilworth School a full boarding school for boys in Auckland, New Zealand. A school where all boys are on full scholarships covering all education and boarding costs.[3]

In 2018, Dilworth was posthumously inducted into the New Zealand Business Hall of Fame.[5]
