List of suburbs of Auckland

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] 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] Rural townships and localities outside of the metropolitan urban limits of Auckland are excluded from this list, such as Waiheke Island and the Hibiscus Coast.
