Henderson is a major suburb of Auckland, in the North Island of New Zealand. It is {{convert|13|km|abbr=out}} west of Auckland city centre, and {{convert|2|km|spell=in|abbr=out}} west of the Whau River, a southwestern arm of the Waitematā Harbour.

Description

5,850 people live in Henderson. This is an increase of 546 people, or 10.3 percent, since the 2006 Census. [1]

The suburb is in the Waitakere ward, one of the thirteen administrative divisions of Auckland Council. It was named after early colonial settler Thomas Henderson, who started a timber mill in the area in ca. 1847 to process the kauri trees which were cut from the Henderson Valley, and upstream from the eastern flanks of the Waitakere Ranges.[2]

Henderson features a large shopping centre, WestCity Waitakere, with numerous other shops and large-scale stores also in the area.

On the outskirts of Henderson is the Corban's Wine Estate, a major New Zealand export wine brand. The Corban's Estate Arts Centre hosts the annual InterACT Disability Arts Festival.[3][4]

Henderson Train Station is adjacent to the main shopping centre and a bus interchange. The West Wave pool in Henderson, owned by the Auckland Council, was built to host the Aquatics at the 1990 Commonwealth Games.

The Local Member of Parliament for Henderson is Phil Twyford, the MP for Te Atatu, who keeps an office in the suburb.

At the northern end of Henderson, near the Lincoln Road motorway interchange, the Toroa, a historical ferry being restored, is a well-known local landmark.

Local government

Henderson had a local government just like other suburbs of Auckland at that time. The local government was called Henderson Borough Council, which started in 1946 and merged into Waitakere City Council in 1989, eventually being amalgamated into Auckland Council in November 2010.

  • 1956–1965 Frederick George William Wilsher
  • 1965–1974 Reginald Alfred Keeling
