The first few chapters of the novel dealing with the discovery of Erewhon are based on Butler's own experiences in New Zealand; as a young man, he had worked there as a sheep farmer on Mesopotamia Station for four years (1860–1864), exploring parts of the interior of the South Island and writing about it in A First Year in Canterbury Settlement (1863).
