This day in NZ history in 1948 NZ citizenship was established.

The British Nationality and NZ Citizenship Act 1948 gave NZ citizenship to all current residents who had been either born British subjects or later naturalised.

Until this Act came into force people born in NZ were British subjects but not NZ citizens.
