Greenhithe is a northwestern suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, located on the North Shore. Greenhithe was the location of Tauhinu, a fortified Te Kawerau ā Maki and Ngāti Whātua pā which overlooked the entrance to Oruamo or Hellyers Creek, that was settled until the 1820s. In the 1860s, the Forgham family established a community at Greenhithe, which by the 1880s had become a major fruit producer for Auckland. Boat repair and construction became major industries in Greenhithe in the 1960s.

The area developed into a suburb of Auckland after the construction of the Auckland Harbour Bridge in 1959 and the Upper Harbour Bridge in 1975. The North Shore City Council identified Greenhithe as an area for suburban growth in 2002, leading the population to double between 2001 and 2018.

Greenhithe is a suburb of the North Shore of New Zealand. It is a peninsula surrounded by the Upper Waitematā Harbour, Lucas Creek and Oruamo or Hellyers Creek. The highest point in the suburb are the 85-metre cliffs at the very south of the peninsula. Te Wharau Creek is a stream that flows northwards through the suburb, becoming an estuary flowing into the Lucas Creek. Wainoni is a suburban area in Greenhithe, located around Wainoni Park. The suburb is bisected by State Highway 18, also known as the Upper Harbour Motorway, which links the North Shore to Hobsonville in West Auckland.

The banks of the Lucas Creek were historically kauri-dominated forests.Шаблон:Sfn By the mid-19th century, the area had developed into a mānuka and fern-dominated scrubland.Шаблон:Sfn

History

Māori history

Файл:Pomaderris amoena 13898835.jpg

The Tauhinu pā in Greenhithe was named after the tauhinu shrub, known for its medicinal properties (pictured: Pomaderris amoena)

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 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.

Most of what is known of Greenhithe's traditional history is based on the retelling by Whatarangi Ngati of Pāremoremo in the early 20th century. Whatarangi was the mother-in-law of ethnographer George Graham, and was well-versed in the tribal histories of Ngāti Whanaunga, Ngāti Whātua and Ngāti Pāoa.Шаблон:Sfn At Greenhithe, Tauhinu was established as a fortified Te Kawerau ā Maki pā, on the southern cliffs of the peninsula.Шаблон:Sfn The pā over looked Шаблон:Lang ("The Pouted Lips"), the entrance to Oruamo or Hellyers Creek. A kāinga called Шаблон:Lang ("The House of Sleep Talking") was located at the west of the suburb, at the entrance to Lucas Creek. Several other place names are known in the area, including Шаблон:Lang ("The Shed of Kae"), the bay east of Greenhithe referring to a Te Kawerau ancestor who was killed here, Шаблон:Lang, the headland to the east of Greenhithe, and Шаблон:Lang, a site where kororā (little penguins) were captured in autumn. The band of the Upper Waitematā Harbour between Greenhithe and Herald Island was known as Wainoni.Шаблон:Sfn

Tauhinu pā, alongside other settlements of the North Shore, was attacked by Kapetaua (also known as Kapetawa) of the Hauraki Gulf around the year 1700, in retribution for Kapetaua being left stranded on Bean Rock.Шаблон:Sfn During the conflict between Ngāti Whātua and Kiwi Tāmaki of Waiohua, who was the paramount chief of the Auckland isthmus (circa 1740), the people of Tauhinu pā fought with Ngāti Whātua. Pahauroa, chief of Tauhinu, was wounded and died at Judges Bay during the conflict.Шаблон:Sfn

By the first half of the 19th century, the Greenhithe area was one of the most densely settled areas of the North Shore by Tāmaki Māori peoples. 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. Ngāti Whātua left an ahi kā presence at Tauhinu pā, which included a small number of warriors.Шаблон:Sfn When people returned in greater numbers to the Auckland Region in the mid-1830s, Ngāti Whātua focused resettlement in the Māngere-Onehunga area, while Te Kawerau ā Maki focused settlement at Te Henga / Bethells Beach.Шаблон:Sfn

The Greenhithe area was a part of the Mahurangi Block, which was purchased by the New Zealand Government in the early 1840s.Шаблон:Sfn Kauri gum digging was a major income source for European settlers in the late 1840s. The first Crown land grants to European settlers in Greenhithe were to the Gamble Brothers, shoemakers from Auckland who purchased property in 1854 and 1855.Шаблон:Sfn The first known permanent resident was George Deane, who purchased 69 acres of land adjacent to Lucas Creek in 1858 and settled here with his wife. After struggling to make a living in the area, Deane and his wife left for Britain in 1861.Шаблон:Sfn During this period, the western Greenhithe headland gained the name Humbug Point by shippers who worked along the Upper Waitematā Harbour area, due to the extensive sand banks that required ships to take wide detours.Шаблон:Sfn

In the mid-1860s, Thomas and Mary Forgham arrived in Auckland from Birmingham, establishing a self-sustaining community in Greenhithe. Calling their farmhouse Fern Bank (later Grey Oaks), the Forghams planted fruit trees and farmed livestock.Шаблон:Sfn The name Greenhithe became popularised in the 1880s, after Henry James Blyth, renamed the farmstead this after he took ownership of the farm in the 1880s.

Suburban development

Local government

From 1876 until 1954, the area was administered by the Waitemata County, a large rural county north and west of the city of Auckland. A highway board was established in 1886, but only lasted two years before folding.

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

Within the Auckland Council, Greenhithe is a part of the Upper Harbour local government area governed by the Upper Harbour Local Board. It is a part of the Albany ward, which elects two councillors to the Auckland Council.
