The population was 2,490 in the 2006 census, an increase of 33 from 2001.[1] The name is derived from George and John Laing, who farmed the area starting in 1854,[2] before it was subdivided. Celebrations were held in 2003 for the 150th anniversary of European settlement.[3] Laingholm is located on the shores of the Manukau Harbour and within the Waitakere Ranges, it offers one of the few opportunities left in the Auckland region to live in a natural environment.{{fact|date=October 2018}} Many houses are surrounded by native bush.{{fact|date=October 2018}} Originally a holiday destination, holiday homes were built in the early part of the century after the original farmland was sold off in lots.
