Remington was born in 1856 at New Plymouth. Due to the New Zealand Wars, the family returned to their native Jersey, where he received his education. The family returned to New Zealand in 1868, first settling in Auckland, but soon residing in Tauranga, where he first became involved in local body politics.[1]
In 1877, Remington moved to Bulls, where he was a chemist selling tooth powder, which was advanced at the time.[1][2] He was declared bankrupt in 1879.[3]
Remington first stood for Parliament in the Patea electorate in 1896 and 1899, coming second both times.[1]
He won the Rangitikei electorate in the 1902 general election, and held it until he died in 1909.[4] His death triggered the 1909 by-election, which was won by Robert William Smith.[5]
Remington died at his home in Tinakori Road, Wellington. He was survived by his wife Elizabeth Susanna Remington.[6]
