MountainThe mountain formed as a result of volcanic activity some 20,000 years ago.[1] Its peak, located in present-day Winstone Park towards the southwest end of the suburb, is 110 metres in height. It is one of the many extinct cones that dot the isthmus of Auckland, all part of the Auckland volcanic field. The scoria cone was built by fire-fountaining from two craters. Lava flowed from the base of the cone to the north and to the northwest. It was the site of a Māori pā (fortified village), and was known as Puketāpapa ("the flat-topped mountain" in the Māori language) and as Pukewīwī.[2] The main southern crater was excavated{{by whom|date=December 2016}} in 1961-1962 and filled with a water-supply reservoir. The reservoir is no longer in active service, and is only maintained as an emergency supply. Since 2009 State Highway 20 has passed close to the cone. The effects of the new motorway on the cone had been the subject of significant discussion, and a major mitigation package had been proposed{{by whom|date=December 2016}} to reduce the impact of the motorway (and the continuation of the Waikaraka Cycleway that runs parallel to it).[3] The funding of this mitigation and the missing cycleway section was briefly in doubt in 2009, when a cost blowout to $2 million was criticised{{by whom|date=December 2016}} after Council{{which|date=December 2016}} had set aside $1.6 million. Cycling advocates from Cycle Action Auckland, the Mount Roskill Community Board Chairman Richard Barter and Councillor John Lister however noted various elements unrelated to the cycleway that had driven up the cost, such as a toilet block, bluestone walls, extensive landscaping and artwork, much of it related to Winstone Park itself, or the effects of the motorway. The cycle-path section itself was priced{{by whom|date=December 2016}} at only $300,000.[4] The path section was finished after six months of construction work and it (and the park facilities) opened to the public on 25 July 2010.[5] SuburbThe suburb, named after the Mount, is located seven kilometres to the south of the city centre, and is surrounded by the neighbouring suburbs of Three Kings, Sandringham, Wesley, Hillsborough and Mount Albert. The Mount Roskill shops are located at the intersection of Mount Albert and Dominion Roads. In the 1920s, a new subdivision off Dominion Road was established. It was named the Victory Estate after notable First World War personnel.[6] One of the city's larger suburbs, it was largely farmland until after the Second World War. It was a separate borough from 1947 until local government reorganisation in 1989 amalgamated it with Auckland City. In the past, Mount Roskill was referred to as the Bible Belt of Auckland,[7] as it contained the highest number of churches per capita in New Zealand.[8] The electorate was one of the last in the country to go "wet", in 1999, having formally been a dry area where the selling of alcohol was prohibited.[9] Mount Roskill is one of the most ethnically diverse suburbs in New Zealand{{Citation needed|date=November 2011}} with a mix of Indians, Pacific Islanders, Europeans, and various East and South Asian peoples residing in the community and representing at least 54 different nationalities. The area has also begun attracting people of African and Latin American origin.{{citation needed|date=February 2017}} The local secondary school is Mount Roskill Grammar. Local GovernmentMount Roskill had a local government like other suburbs of Auckland at the time. The local government was called Mount Roskill Borough Council, which started in 1947 and merged into Auckland City Council in 1989 and then eventually merged into Auckland Council in 2010.

In 2007, the Mount Roskill Community Board commissioned a 176-page book titled Just Passing Through: A History of Mt Roskill (Jade Reidy) which covered the growth of the district from 1840 up until the present time. It identified the significant input of Mount Roskill residents internationally, such as athletics coach Arthur Lydiard in the chapter "How Sport Put Mt Roskill on the World Map."
