Boulcott is a central suburb of Lower Hutt City situated at the bottom of the North Island of New Zealand. The suburb lies about a kilometre north-east of the Lower Hutt CBD.
Boulcott takes its name after Almon Boulcott, who farmed in the area in the 1840s.[2] Two Lower Hutt hospitals; Hutt Hospital and Boulcott Hospital, lie in Boulcott.
As of 2013 the oldest house in the area stands in Fry Street. Formerly known as "The Glebe", it served as a local Gentleman's Club in the early 20th century.[citation needed]
