The Royal New Zealand Navy's Kauri Point Armament Depot is located in Chatswood. Chelsea Sugar Refinery is located in Chatswood.

Etymology

The name Chatswood was decided by property developers in 1973. In the latter 19th century, the sparsely populated area near Kauri Point was often referred to as Balmain.

Geography

The Chatswood area is primarily uplifted Waitemata Group sandstone, that was deposited on the sea floor during the Early Miocene, between 22 and 16 million years ago. Prior to human settlement, the inland North Shore was a mixed podocarp-broadleaf forest dominated by kauri and other conifer trees. Pōhutukawa trees dominated the coastal margins of Birkenhead. Some kauri remnant forest remains in areas around Chatswood, including Kauri Park, Le Roys Bush, Kauri Point Domain, Kauri Glen and Eskdale Reserve.Шаблон:Sfn

Duck Creek is a stream that flows south south-east through Chatswood, entering the Waitematā Harbour near the Chelsea Sugar Refinery. A number of bays of the Waitematā Harbour can be found around Chatswood including (clockwise from right): Chelsea Bay, Kendall Bay, Onetaunga Bay, Fitzpatrick Bay, and Soldiers Bay.

The highest in the suburb is Шаблон:Convert above sea-level, located on Onetaunga Road north of Bragato Place. The southernmost point of the suburb is Kauri Point Birkenhead / Te Mātā-rae-o-Mana.

History

Māori history

Файл:Kauri Point, Birkenhead (1899).jpg

Kauri Point was the location of Шаблон:Lang ("The Brow of Mana"), a Te Kawerau ā Maki pā overlooking the Waitematā Harbour and close to an important shark fishery

Māori settlement of the Auckland Region began around the 13th or 14th centuries. The North Shore was settled by Tāmaki Māori, including people descended from the Tainui migratory canoe and ancestors of figures such as Taikehu and Peretū. Many of the early Tāmaki Māori people of the North Shore identified as Ngā Oho.

Boat Rock (Шаблон:Lang, "The Rat's Tooth") in the Waitematā Harbour southwest of Birkenhead was a location of great significance to Tāmaki Māori. The rock was the location where Te Arawa chief Kahumatamomoe placed a mauri stone (a stone of religious significance), naming the Waitematā ("The Waters of the Stone") after the mauri stone.

The warrior Maki migrated from the Kāwhia Harbour to his ancestral home in the Auckland Region, likely sometime in the 17th century. Maki conquered and unified many the Tāmaki Māori tribes as Te Kawerau ā Maki, including those of the North Shore. After Maki's death, his sons settled different areas of his lands, creating new hapū. His younger son Maraeariki settled the North Shore and Hibiscus Coast, who based himself at the head of the Ōrewa River. Maraeariki's daughter Kahu succeeded him, and she is the namesake of the North Shore, Шаблон:Lang ("The Greater Lands of Kahu"). Many of the iwi of the North Shore, including Ngāti Manuhiri, Ngāti Maraeariki, Ngāti Kahu, Ngāti Poataniwha, Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki and Ngāti Whātua, can trace their lineage to Kahu.

The poor clay soils of the inland forest of the hindered development.Шаблон:Sfn Most Māori settlements of the Birkenhead area focused on fishing and harvesting food from the forests.Шаблон:Sfn The focal point of Te Kawerau ā Maki on the North Shore was Шаблон:Lang ("The Brow of Mana"), a headland pā at Kauri Point, and Шаблон:Lang ("Wind Shelter"), the kāinga below the cliffs at Kendall Bay. Шаблон:Lang was named after the ancestor Manaoterangi, who was the rangatira of the pā in the mid-18th century, and was likely constructed in the 17th century.Шаблон:Sfn The pā was of strategic importance due to its commanding view of the Waitematā Harbour, and its proximity to a renowned Шаблон:Lang, a shark fishery which brought seasonal visitors from across Tāmaki Makurau and the Hauraki Gulf in the summer,Шаблон:Sfn including important rangatira such as Kiwi Tāmaki and later Tarahawaiki. Based on archaeological studies of the pā, little activity such as food storage or refilled pits occurred in the pā compared to contemporary sites.

Manaoterangi was a close relative of the Te Taoū/Ngāti Whātua ragatira Tuperiri, and was married to Waikahuia, the sister of Waiohua paramount chief Kiwi Tāmaki. Because of this, the pā and Mana's people were spared during the conflicts between Te Taoū and Waiohua in the mid-18th century, and at the end of his life, Manaoterangi entrusted his people to Tuperiri and the iwi that grew to become Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei.

By the early 19th century, the eastern headlands the Upper Waitematā Harbour, including along Oruamo or Hellyers Creek were some of the most densely settled areas of the North Shore by Tāmaki Māori. Oruamo or Hellyers Creek was an important transportation node for the North Shore area.

In the latter 18th and early 19th centuries, members of Te Taoū/Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei resided seasonally at Шаблон:Lang. During the early 1820s, most Māori of the North Shore fled for the Waikato or Northland due to the threat of war parties during the Musket Wars. Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang were raided and destroyed in a night raid around the year 1823.

When Tāmaki Māori returned in greater numbers to the Auckland Region, Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang were occupied again, from 1835 until the early 1840s.Шаблон:Sfn The shark fishery remained an important location for many decades onwards. In 1844, when Tāmaki Māori held the feast of Remuera, sharks were caught for the event at this fishery, and considerable numbers of Māori fishing boats fished the area as late as the 1860s.

Outside of Шаблон:Lang and Шаблон:Lang, other known locations of significance to Tāmaki Māori around Chatswood include Шаблон:Lang or Шаблон:Lang was the name of a pā located inland on the Kauri Point ridge, and Шаблон:Lang, an inland pā where people would stay seasonally, to snare kākā in the wooded vallies of Шаблон:Lang. The traditional names for the bays of the area include Шаблон:Lang (Chelsea) and Шаблон:Lang (Onetaunga and Soldiers Bay). Other pā associated with the ares include Onewa Pā, likely on the western side of Kendall Bay, which was occupied by Ngāti Whātua leader Tarahawaiki (the father of Āpihai Te Kawau).

Early European settlement

The Chelsea Sugar Refinery in 1885

The area Chatswood was a part of the Mahurangi Block, an area purchased by the Crown on 13 April 1841.Шаблон:Sfn Land speculators purchased much of the isolated forests of Birkenhead in 1843,Шаблон:Sfn and the first permanent settlers arrived in 1849.Шаблон:Sfn Major Collings Ann de Jersey Grut emigrated to New Zealand in the 1850s from the Channel Islands, alongside her husband Major Collings de Jersey Grut and brother Charles D'Auvergne.Шаблон:Sfn The de Jersey Grut family established a farm and manor near Duck Creek in the 1850s,Шаблон:Sfn but struggled to establish a farm. The poor soil led to starvation, and the servants needing to share food with the de Jersey Grut family members, and cattle would often wander off into the bush. The de Jersey Grut family left in 1865, and had their house shipped to Orewa.Шаблон:Sfn Birkenhead was subdivided and promoted as a township from 1863,Шаблон:Sfn and in 1882 Auckland Harbour Board constructed the Birkenhead Wharf.Шаблон:Sfn

Around the year 1866, Walter Carnall established a brickworks at Kauri Point.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1881, the Australasian Colonial Sugar Refining Company chose Birkenhead for the site of a new sugar refining factory, after founder Edward Knox visited Auckland. The refinery was chosen due to Auckland's relative proximity to the sugarcane plantations of Fiji, and south-eastern Birkenhead was chosen as it was one of the few deep water anchorages of the Waitematā Harbour, and due to its proximity to the fresh water Duck Creek.Шаблон:Sfn The factory opened in 1884, and by 1888 had greatly increased production.Шаблон:Sfn The factory continues to be the largest single site industrial facility on the North Shore.

The establishment of Chelsea Sugar Refinery led to a population explosion in Birkenhead and the surrounding areas,Шаблон:Sfn and led to Birkenhead developing into a suburban township.Шаблон:Sfn In the mid-1880s, a factory village was constructed adjacent for workers at the factory. Mr Judd, the first customs officer, successfully convinced the Colonial Sugar Refining Company to call both the factory and adjacent company village Chelsea, after his hometown in England.Шаблон:Sfn In 1938 on the eve of World War II, the New Zealand Government established the Kauri Point Armament Depot.Шаблон:Sfn

Suburban development

In the 1950s, Birkenhead Borough was a semi-rural area of Auckland, with only the areas close to the Birkenhead Wharf having a suburban atmosphere.Шаблон:Sfn In 1959, the Auckland Harbour Bridge opened, which rapidly brought Birkenhead closer to Auckland.Шаблон:Sfn The North Shore wharves of the Waitematā Harbour stopped being major transport nodes, and instead, areas with views of the Waitematā Harbour rose in importance for suburban housing.Шаблон:Sfn

Chatswood was developed in 1966, on surplus land no longer needed by Chelsea Sugar Refinery. The suburb was the largest and most expensive of the Birkenhead Borough suburbs that developed after the construction of the bridge.Шаблон:Sfn The Chatswood Estate was sold to residents from 1973 onwards.

In 1986, the Kauri Point Centennial Park was created to mark 100 years since the creation of the Birkenhead Borough Council.
