Takapuna is a suburb located on the North Shore of Auckland, New Zealand. The suburb is an isthmus between Shoal Bay, arm of the Waitematā Harbour, and the Hauraki Gulf. Lake Pupuke, a volcanic maar and one of the oldest features of the Auckland volcanic field, is a freshwater lake located in the suburb.

Takapuna was settled by Tāmaki Māori in the 13th or 14th centuries, who utilised the resources of Lake Pupuke, and a pōhutukawa grove called Te Uru Tapu, which continues to exist today, was an important location for funeral ceremonies.[3] In 1847, the first European farmers settled at Takapuna, and the Crown gifted land at Takapuna to Ngāpuhi chief Eruera Maihi Patuone in order to create a protective barrier for Auckland. Jean-Baptiste Pompallier established St Mary's College at Takapuna in 1849.

The area became a tourist destination popular with wealthy families of Auckland in the 1880s, when many large summer residences were constructed on the shores of Lake Pupuke. By the early 20th century, Takapuna Beach had grown in importance for tourists. The suburb developed in the 1910s due to a private tramway, and by the 1930s gradually became a commercial centre for the North Shore. Takapuna grew in importance after the opening of the Auckland Harbour Bridge in 1959, becoming the administrative centre for the North Shore.

Etymology

[edit]
Takapuna was originally the name of a spring on the southwestern slopes of Maungauika / North Head at Torpedo Bay (watercolour by Caroline Harriet Abraham in the 1850s).

The name Takapuna refers to a spring at Maungauika / North Head, located north of Torpedo Bay Navy Museum in Devonport.[4] The name was given by Hoturoa of the Tainui migratory waka. When the waka stopped at Torpedo Bay, Hoturoa and the crew of the Tainui met the residents of area and drank from the spring. Hoturoa named the spring in remembrance of a spring in his homeland of Hawaiki (Mangaia).[5][4] While the word puna in Māori refers to natural springs, the meaning of taka in this context is unknown, and the name has variously been interpreted to mean "Knoll Spring", "Rock Spring", "Cliff Spring" or "Falling Spring".[4]

Over time, Tāmaki Māori began to refer to the wider area around Maungauika / North Head and the North Shore as Takapuna.[4] Jules Dumont d'Urville, an early explorer, was the first European to adopt the name to describe the area north of North Head in 1833.[6] During the early colonial era of Auckland, the name was used for the Parish of Takapuna, and modern Lake Pupuke was referred to as Lake Takapuna from the 1860s until the 1940s.[4]

The area was known as the Lake District from 1866 until 1882, when the name Takapuna was formally adopted.[7] The name Takapuna was gradually adopted to mean the settlement focused on the southern shores of Lake Pupuke over the 19th century. The areas to the south were known as Devonport, meaning Takapuna had become geographically separated from its namesake.[4][6]

Geology

[edit]

The most recent eruption of Lake Pupuke led to the creation of Takapuna Reef and the Takapuna Fossil Forest
Main articles: Lake Pupuke and Takapuna Fossil Forest

The North Shore is primarily uplifted Waitemata Group sandstone, that was deposited on the sea floor during the Early Miocene, between 22 and 16 million years ago.[8] The Takapuna area is home to Lake Pupuke, a volcanic maar which is one of the oldest known features of the Auckland volcanic field, erupting an estimated 193,200 years ago.[9][10][11] A small scoria cone existed to the west of Lake Pupuke, which was quarried during European settlement.[12]

During the eruption of Lake Pupuke, two lava flows travelled eastwards through the area, burning vegetation and encasing the lower 1–2 metres of the tree trunks in lava. The lava solidified into basalt rock, creating the Takapuna Fossil Forest, which was exposed an estimated 7,000 years ago due to coastal erosion.[13]

Prior to human settlement, pōhutukawa trees dominated the coastal margins of the North Shore.[8] The inland North Shore was a mixed podocarp-broadleaf forest dominated by kauri. To the west of Takapuna is Smiths Bush in the Onewa Domain, a remnant native forest, dominated by kahikatea and taraire trees.[12] By the 1850s, Takapuna was primarily a mānuka scrubland, with significant coastal areas dominated by harakeke.[14]

Geography

[edit]

Takapuna is an isthmus between the Hauraki Gulf and Shoal Bay, a long narrow bay of the Waitematā Harbour.[15][16] Takapuna is surrounded by the suburbs of Hauraki to the south-east, Northcote to the south-west, Hillcrest and Wairau Valley to the west, and Milford north of Lake Pupuke.[15] The highest point in the suburb is 34 metres (112 ft) above sea-level, located at the Killarney Street and the Terrace.[15]

Two beaches are located in the eastern parts of the suburb. Takapuna Beach is found to the south,[17] which faces toward Rangitoto Island across the Rangitoto Channel. Further north along the coast is Thorne Bay,[18] which features a rock formation called Black Rock, at the northern point of the bay.[19]

Barrys Point is a headland in Takapuna south of Esmonde Road that extends into Shoal Bay.[20]

History

[edit]

Māori history

[edit]

Māori settlement of the Auckland Region began around the 13th or 14th centuries.[21][22] The Devonport-Takapuna area was one of the earliest settled in the region, known to be settled by the Tāmaki Māori ancestor Peretū. Toi-te-huatahi and his followers settled and interwed with these early peoples.[23]

Around the year 1350, the Tainui migratory canoe visited the Takapuna area, stopping at the freshwater spring southwest of Maungauika / North Head.[4] Some members of the crew decided to settle permanently in the area, including Taikehu, and intermarried with the people of the North Shore.[4] Kāinga were found throughout the wider Takapuna area, protected by pā at Castor Bay (Te Rahopara o Peretū) to the north, with Takarunga / Mount Victoria and Maungauika / North Head to the south.[24][25][26] Over time, the descendants of these people began to identify as Ngā Oho and Ngāi Tai.[27][23]

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.[28][29] 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, Te Whenua Roa o Kahu ("The Greater Lands of Kahu").[30][31] 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.[31][23]

In the 17th century, Ngāti Pāoa attacked the settlements around the Waitematā Harbour, later intermarrying with the Te Kawerau ā Maki and Ngāi Tai people of the southern North Shore. During intertribal war with Ngāpuhi, the pā at Maungauika / North Head was sieged in 1793, leading Ngāti Pāoa to refocus their settlements on Waiheke Island until the 1830s.[4] 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.[32][33]

Lake Pupuke and Te Riri a Mataaho

[edit]

Lake Pupuke was an important location to Tāmaki Māori of the North Shore. It was used a source of fresh water, and its name Pupuke Moana ("Overflowing Sea") referred to how the fresh water would habitually flow out from the lake to the sea.[34][8] Eels and mussels were harvested from the lake, and birds who were attracted to the lake were snared for food, and harakeke from the shores could be harvested for textiles. The northern shores of the lake was home to a grove of karaka trees, which were likely used for both food and medicinal purposes.[8]

Takapuna is part of the setting of Te Riri a Mataaho ("The Wrath of Mataaho"), a Ngāi Tai ki Tāmaki traditional story (pūrākau) that describes the creation of Lake Pupuke and Ngā Mahanga "The Twins", two rock formations on Takapuna Beach.[35][36][37] Two tupua (children of the Fire God Mataaho), Matakamokamo and his wife Matakerepo, lived on Te Rua Maunga, a mountain located at Lake Pupuke.[38][36] The couple argued over some flax clothing that Matakerepo had made for her husband, and the argument became so heated that the fire outside their dwelling died out. Matakamokamo cursed Mahuika, Goddess of the Fire, for allowing this to happen. Mahuika was furious at the couple, and asked Mataaho to punish them. Mataaho destroyed their mountain home, and in its place left Pupuke Moana (Lake Pupuke), while at the same time he formed the mountain Rangitoto. The couple fled to the newly formed island, where Mataaho formed three peaks on the mountain, so that the couple can view the ruins of their former home.[38] Hinerei and Matamiha, the couples' twin children, were turned to stone, and remain as rock features on the southern Takapuna Beach.[39][37]

Te Uru Tapu

[edit]

To the north of Takapuna Beach is a wāhi tapu (sacred location) called Te Uru Tapu, a grove of pōhutukawa used for burial ceremonies by Tāmaki Māori.[40][41] As a part of traditional burial practices, bodies would be wrapped in flax mats and placed in a sitting position in the trees, with the dead later being buried once their bodies had naturally decomposed.[42]

In the early 2000s, the North Shore City Council built a boardwalk through the grove.[41] Access was removed in June 2018 due to risks of falling branches, and access to the grove was not returned after the Auckland Council consulted with seven iwi.[42] In 2021, vandals poisoned and cut down many of the trees in the grove, including karo, karaka, nīkau palms and tōtara, however did not target the pōhutukawa.[43]

Early colonial period

[edit]

The first land purchases at Takapuna were undertaken by Henry Taylor and Alexander Sparks in November 1839.[44] These land sales were later disallowed, and Takapuna was purchased by the Crown on 13 April 1841 as a part of the Mahurangi Block.[44][45][46] Farms were auctioned in 1844,[44] and the first European farmers arrived in the Takapuna area in 1847.[47] Early European settlers were predominantly from England, Scotland and Ireland, and they established farms around the lake.[48] Crops such as wheat, maize, barley, potatoes and kūmara were grown at these farms, and homesteads planted single acre orchards dominated by plums, apples and peaches.[49]

In 1849, the Catholic Church purchased land at Takapuna, where Jean-Baptiste Pompallier established St Mary's College, a school and later seminary that catered to both European and Māori.[8][50]

In 1852, the Crown granted 110 acres (45 ha) of land south of Lake Pupuke to Barry's Point / Awataha to Ngāpuhi chief Eruera Maihi Patuone, in order to create a shield for the City of Auckland against potential invasion from Ngāpuhi and other northern tribes. Patuone's people lived in the area until the 1880s.[46][51][52] Patuone named his settlement Waiwharariki,[52] meaning "Waters of Wharariki", a mat made of harakeke flax.[37] Patuone's lands at Waiwharariki included a peach tree orchard and a village of twenty huts.[53] Many Ngāpuhi from the settlement worked on the farms at Lake Pupuke, establishing a network of fences for the properties.[54]

In 1863, the first subdivisions were created in Takapuna, where villas were constructed on the eastern shores of Lake Pupuke. The streets were named after famous lakes of the world.[7] A ferry service began to operate from Barry's Point at Shoal Bay, and the Takapuna Hotel was established in 1863 near the ferry launch.[6] Despite the Long Depression of the 1880s, Takapuna grew as a community. By this period, sheep breeding had become important in northern Takapuna, and Takapuna dairy farms supplied milk for Auckland.[55] A post office was established in Takapuna in 1880, followed by St Peter's Church in 1883.[8]

During fears of Russian invasion in the 1880s, Fort Takapuna was established to the southeast of the suburb.[24][8] Lake Pupuke became the major source of fresh water for the North Shore, with Devonport receiving fresh water in the 1890s, followed by Northcote in 1906. In 1913, a new pumphouse was constructed on the lake, in order to supply Birkenhead with fresh water.[8]

Tourism destination and trams

[edit]

By the late 1880s, Takapuna had developed into a destination for tourists, with Lake Pupuke being the main attraction. The increase in tourists encouraged farmers to subdivide their lands. The Lake Hotel was constructed, and large summer residences were constructed on the shores of the lake.[8] The earliest subdivisions of farmland for suburban development were the Hurstmere estate in 1886,[56] and the Pupuke Estate in 1889. The Takapuna and Milford Beach areas, as well as the land surrounding Lake Pupuke soon became popular spots for wealthy businessmen building summer homes to entertain in a rural surrounding, and eventually, many moved here permanently, commuting to work in Auckland via ferry.[56][8]

By the late 1900s, Lake Pupuke diminished in importance for tourists, who were instead attracted to Takapuna Beach. In 1909, the Lake Hotel was destroyed in a fire. The hotel was not replaced, and instead the Mon Desir Hotel on the Takapuna beachfront was opened in 1909.[8]

In 1910, a private tramway was established in Takapuna, which conveyed passengers to the ferry at Bayswater.[8] A group of local businessmen proposed the tramway to Auckland Electric Tramways as a way to improve property prices in Takapuna. After the company declined their request due to the low population of the area, the businessmen established the Takapuna Tramways and Ferry Company Limited, operating both the tram and ferry.[57] The plan was a success, leading to rapid suburban development in Takapuna.[8] The tramway soon became unpopular,[8] and closed 17 years later on 26 April 1927.[57]

In 1914, a local cinema was opened in Takapuna, at the Forester's Hall in Anzac Street,[8] and Chinese market gardeners established farms at Barrys Point in the 1920s.[47]

By the 1930s, Takapuna transitioned from a tourist destination into a suburb of Auckland. Summer residences were gradually replaced by permanent housing,[8] and Takapuna developed into a commercial centre on the North Shore.[58] A number of Takapuna buildings date from this period, including Hall's Building, the Manona Building and the Strand Buildings.[58]

During World War II, coastal defenses were built around the Takapuna area.[8] A light industrial area developed at Barry Point in the 1950s, the Takapuna War Memorial Hall opened in 1953, and North Shore Hospital was opened as the first major public hospital on the North Shore on 19 July 1958.[8]

Auckland Harbour Bridge and suburban development

[edit]

The Auckland Harbour Bridge was opened in 1959, creating a road bridge between the North Shore and Auckland City,[59] causing an explosion of suburban growth across the North Shore.[8] After the opening of the bridge, Takapuna became the administrative centre for Takapuna City (established in 1961), and later for North Shore City (established in 1989). This drew major retailers to the commercial centre of Takapuna, and branches of Woolworths, Rendells Department Store, and Milne & Choyce opened in the suburb, and were followed by a modern shopping centre, Shore City Shopping Centre.[8]

In 1962, Takapuna became the location where the COMPAC submarine communications cable connected Auckland to Suva, Fiji, and onwards to Vancouver, Canada. The system was in use until 7 December 1984.[60]

In 1996, the Bruce Mason Centre was opened as an events venue for Takapuna.[61] In the late 1990s, the former Smale family farm was redeveloped into Smales Farm, a commercial complex adjacent to the motorway.[62] The Clear Communications Centre opened here in 1999.[61]

Local government

[edit]
Takapuna City Council buildings in 1989

The first local government in the area was the Lake Highway District, also known as the Takapuna Highway District, which began operating 1867. In June 1889 the road board was dissolved, in favour of Takapuna being under the direct control of the Waitemata County Council.[8] The Borough of Takapuna was established on 1 July 1913, after 73% of electors in Takapuna voted for independence from the Waitemata County.[68] The first mayor, Ewen Alison, had previously served as the Mayor of Devonport, and by 1914 the borough council began working on improving roads, footpaths and street lighting.[68] In 1954, Takapuna Borough expanded its borders to include Castor Bay to the north.[8]

After significant growth in population, Takapuna Borough became Takapuna City in 1961.[8] On 1 August 1974, the Waitemata County was dissolved,[69] leading to rural northern North Shore areas, such as Glenfield, Albany and Long Bay, to be incorporated into Takapuna City.[70] In 1989, Takapuna City was merged into the North Shore City.[71] North Shore City was amalgamated into Auckland Council in November 2010.[72]

Within the Auckland Council, Takapuna is a part of the Devonport-Takapuna local government area governed by the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board. It is a part of the North Shore ward, which elects two councillors to the Auckland Council.
