Etymology

Файл:Clematis paniculata kz12.jpg

The name Шаблон:Lang, which refers to Clematis paniculata (puawānanga), is associated with the Glenfield area

The name Mayfield was first associated with the area in the late 19th century. Before this, settlers considered the area rural sections of Takapuna, Birkenhead or Northcote.Шаблон:Sfn The name was first used in an advertisement by R. Arthur, a landowner who subdivided 250 acres of land in 1883. The name was adopted by residents for the school and area in 1890, referring to the blossoming white mānuka bushes that residents felt were reminiscent of springtime (i.e. May) in England.Шаблон:Sfn In 1912, local residents petitioned the post office to change the name of the area to Glenfield. Until this point, the post office used the name Freemans, referring to John Freeman, the homeowner who operated the post office from his home from 1888.Шаблон:Sfn The post office had refused to use the name Mayfield, due to potential confusion with Mayfield in the Canterbury Region.

The first name on early colonial maps associated with the area is Шаблон:Lang, which refers to puawānanga, a native species of clematis.Шаблон:Sfn The name was used to refer to an inland bush area of the North Shore where puawānanga grew, which early European settlers called Quick's Bush. In 2013, Glenfield College adopted the name Te Puawānanga for the school's whare wānanga.

Geography

History

Māori history

Файл:Kaipatiki Creek.jpg

Archaeological middens have been found on the shores of the Kaipātiki Creek

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,

The poor clay soils of the area were not suitable for Māori traditional gardening techniques, meaning Glenfield was not as densely settled as other areas of the North Shore, such as the Upper Waitematā Harbour eastern shores or the Devonport-Takapuna areas. The forests of the inland North Shore were a place where berries were harvested.Шаблон:Sfn

Archaeological middens have been found on the shores of the Kaipātiki Creek, and Manuka Road was originally an Шаблон:Lang (traditional path) linking Oruamo or Hellyers Creek to the central North Shore.Шаблон:Sfn

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.

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. When Tāmaki Māori returned in greater numbers to the Auckland Region in the mid-1830s, Te Kawerau ā Maki focused settlement at Te Henga / Bethells Beach.Шаблон:Sfn

Early European settlement

One of the earliest land sales to European settlers in Auckland took place near Glenfield on 17 April 1837, when Ngāti Whātua rangatira Nanihi and Tuire sold Te Pukapuka, a Шаблон:Convert block to American whaler William Webster, at the north-eastern headwaters of Oruamo or Hellyers Creek, near Bayview. Webster on-sold the land to Thomas Hellyer on 13 October 1840, who established the Retreat, a house which included a kauri sawpit, a hut, and a workshop. The Retreat became well known among sailors, who would stop at the Retreat for fresh water and beer from the Retreat's brewhouse.Шаблон:Sfn On 22 December 1841, Hellyer's body was discovered at the Retreat, and while an investigation took place, no person was convicted of his murder.Шаблон:Sfn

Glenfield was a part of the Mahurangi Block, which was purchased by the New Zealand Government in 1841.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In the 1850s, the first European settlers in Glenfield developed orchards and dairy farms, including the Mackay and McFetridge families.Шаблон:Sfn The surrounding areas were worked by gum diggers, from 1859 up until the 1920s.Шаблон:Sfn Gum diggers would regularly set fire to the mānuka scrubland, in order to more easily locate kauri gum.Шаблон:Sfn

Windy Ridge was one of the first areas of inland Glenfield by European settlers, when Terence and Elizabeth Crook purchased Шаблон:Convert north of Coronation Road, known as Gooches Corner. The section was later farmed by Minnie Gracie and her husband Arthur Moore Gracie.Шаблон:Sfn

Local government

The North Shore Highway District was the first local government body in Glenfield. Commencing operation in 1868, the district administered projects including roads from Birkenhead noth to the Okura River. From 1876, the area was administered by the Waitemata County, a large rural county north and west of the city of Auckland. In 1961, Glenfield became a county town within the Waitemata County, led by chairman Stan Compton until his death in 1965, and later by Arthur Gibbons.

On 1 August 1974, the Waitemata County was dissolved, and Glenfield was incorporated into Takapuna City. In 1989, Glenfield was merged into the North Shore City. North Shore City was amalgamated into Auckland Council in November 2010.

Within the Auckland Council, Glenfield is a part of the Kaipātiki local government area governed by the Kaipātiki Local Board. It is a part of the North Shore ward, which elects two councillors to the Auckland Council.
