Gibbs migrated to New Zealand in 1851 and purchased a large block of land at Totaranui. Much of this land is now incorporated into the Abel Tasman National Park. He completed a large homestead there for his wife and eight children, where they lived until moving to Nelson in 1892 when Gibbs retired.[1] His daughter Hannah Sarah Gibbs married Alexander Mackay at Collingwood in 1863.[2] He narrowly lost (by three votes) the {{By-election link|Collingwood|1868}} for Collingwood. He represented the Collingwood electorate from {{By-election link year|Collingwood|1873}} to 1881, when he was defeated for Motueka.[3] His son W. B. Gibbs stood in the {{NZ electorate link|Nelson}} electorate in the {{NZ election link|1887}}, but came third against Henry Levestam and Jesse Piper.[4][5] The town of Collingwood was originally called Gibbstown after Gibbs. Gibbs died aged 76 at his home in Nelson on 7 November 1896,[6] and was buried at Wakapuaka Cemetery.[7] References1. ^Nelson and Totaranui, Constance Astley's Trip to New Zealand, 1897-1898, Constance Astley, Victoria University Press, 1997, page 14 {{ISBN|0864733208}}, 9780864733207 {{S-start}}{{S-par | nz}}{{S-bef | before = Arthur Collins}}{{S-ttl | title= Member of Parliament for Collingwood| years=1873–1881}}{{S-non | reason = Constituency abolished}}{{End}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Gibbs, William}}{{NewZealand-politician-stub}}2. ^{{DNZB|title=Alexander Mackay|first= David A.|last= Armstrong|id=2m11|accessdate=21 April 2012}} 3. ^{{cite book |last= Wilson |first= James Oakley |title= New Zealand Parliamentary Record, 1840–1984 |edition= 4th |origyear= First ed. published 1913 |year= 1985 |publisher= V.R.
