The suburb is in the Waitakere Ward, one of the thirteen administrative areas of Auckland governed by Auckland Council. The population was 6,609 in the 2006 census, an increase of 540 from 2001.[1] Glen Eden village is situated on West Coast Road.[2] Most commercial premises in Glen Eden are either on this road or in Glen Mall, a small shopping centre nearby. Waikumete Cemetery is to the north of Glen Eden. Glen Eden Railway Station is also located on West Coast Road, and is a station on Auckland's Western Line. Glen Eden is home to a library (opened in 2004), the Playhouse Theatre, and an RSA club. The Glenora Rugby League team plays at Glenora Park.[3] It has the oldest registered Scouts club in the country. Most housing is wooden, with a few old farmhouses, some 1930s art deco houses, and post-war bungalows and weatherboard houses. There is also more recent terrace housing.[3] Before the adoption of an Auckland Supercity in 2010, Glen Eden was under the local governance of the Waitakere City Council and the New Lynn Community Board. The original Māori name for the area was Waikomiti. Because this name was similar to that of Waikumete Cemetery, residents requested a name change. Glen Eden was chosen from Mount Eden and the valleys and orchards of the area.[4][5] Education
