Pukekohe Hill[2] (known traditionally as Pukekohekohe)[3] is one of the most prominent volcanoes of the South Auckland volcanic field in New Zealand.

Pukekohe Hill is one of the youngest known volcanoes in the South Auckland volcanic field, erupting an estimated 550,000 years ago.

[1] The traditional Māori name Pukekohekohe ("Hill of Kohekohe") refers to Dysoxylum spectabile, also known as the New Zealand mahogany tree, which used to be a prominent part of the native bush on in the area.

The northern slopes of the hill were home to some of the largest croplands (māra kai) for the Tāmaki Māori people who settled here.

[6] People who had lived in Te Awa nui o Taikehu returned to the area in the 1870s, often working as labourers in the market gardens on the former lands of the reserve.
