Mount Eden · Maungawhau

Mount Eden takes its English name from the Earl of Auckland and its Maori name, Maungawhau, from the 196-metre scoria cone at its heart, the highest natural point on the Auckland isthmus and once a major fortified pa supporting thousands of people. Subdivision of land gifted by Ngati Whatua began in 1841, and by the late 1800s a village had formed around Mt Eden Road that drew artists, writers and academics and kept a slightly bohemian reputation. Today it is a leafy inner suburb of grand early-twentieth-century villas, with a compact village of cafes, restaurants and shops below the maunga.
