It is located {{convert|25|km|mi|0}} south of Blenheim, close to the mouths of the Awatere and Blind Rivers and the Lake Grassmere salt works.[1][2] At the 2013 Census, the town had a population of 507 people.[3] Salt and lime[4] are major local industries, and the Awatere Valley is a developing wine region.[5] The town was named for a former Prime Minister of New Zealand, Richard Seddon. EarthquakesSeddon has been close to the epicentres of several significant earthquakes. On the morning of 16 October 1848, Marlborough was struck by a damaging earthquake later estimated to be between magnitude 7.4 and 7.7.[6] The epicentre of this earthquake was 45 km southeast of Seddon.[7] On 23 April 1966, a magnitude 5.8 earthquake with an epicenter in Cook Strait, 40 km east of Seddon[8] was most strongly felt in the town, damaging the chimney on almost every house in town.[9] In July and August 2013 Seddon was closest settlement to the epicentres of a doublet earthquake event.[10] First, in late July, a series of sizeable earthquakes struck the region over a period of a few days being felt strongly in Blenheim, Wellington and the rest of Central New Zealand, the strongest being a magnitude 6.5 and having its epicentre in Cook Strait.[11] Then on 16 August 2013 a magnitude 6.6 earthquake with its epicentre under Lake Grassmere struck about 2:30 PM [12] and was followed by a series of aftershocks over the next few hours, one of which was above magnitude 6 and several others above magnitude 5. This came just a few years after devastating earthquakes affected Christchurch, 285 km away.[13] TransportState Highway 1 passes through Seddon on its route between Blenheim and Christchurch. The Marlborough section of the Main North Line railway reached Seddon from Blenheim in October 1902.[14] This also saw the construction of a combined road-rail bridge over the Awatere River north of the town, with the single-lane road below the rail. The bridge remained in service for road traffic until October 2007, when a new two-lane road bridge opened.[15] Seddon was the southern terminus of the railway until the line was extended to Ward in April 1911; the full line through to Christchurch didn't open until December 1945.[14] Today, Seddon is served by the Coastal Pacific train, which runs once daily each way during the summer months. A train derailment at Blind River, south of Seddon, on 25 February 1948, killed six people and injured 40 others.[16] EducationSeddon School is the sole school in the town. It is a coeducational full primary (year 1–8) school with a roll of approximately {{NZ school roll data|2988|y}}.{{NZ school roll data||||y}} The nearest state secondary schools are Marlborough Boys' College and Marlborough Girls' College in Blenheim.
