Suburbs began to develop in Auckland in the late 19th century, with the growth of tram, train and ferry services. By 1945, the towns of Onehunga, Ōtāhuhu, Avondale and New Lynn had merged into the wider Auckland urban area.[1]
The 1960s and 1970s saw rapid development of suburbs on the North Shore, and by the 1980s Howick, Manurewa and Papakura had become part of the Auckland urban area.[1] Current predictions of urban growth show new suburbs developing in northwestern Auckland near Whenuapai, and a continuous urban expansion between Papakura and Pukekohe.[1]
Suburbs within the metropolitan urban limits of Auckland are administered by local boards, and currently split into 17 areas: Albert-Eden,[2] Devonport-Takapuna,[3] Henderson-Massey,[4] Hibiscus and Bays,[5] Howick,[6] Kaipātiki,[7] Māngere-Ōtāhuhu,[8] Manurewa,[9] Maungakiekie-Tāmaki,[10] Ōrākei,[11] Ōtara-Papatoetoe,[12] Puketāpapa,[13] Upper Harbour,[14] Waitākere Ranges,[15] Waitematā[16] and Whau.[17]
