Have you ever wondered what your street’s name means, or whom it was named after?

Street names often fall into patterns. They may celebrate a royal connection (Queen Street), note early administrators (Hobson Street), celebrate activities once conducted in the area (Customs Street) or mark war heroes (Kitchener Street, formerly the Germanic Coburg).

More often than not, streets commemorate people, including famous writers, poets, essayists or dramatists, or local families or developers. Local or national politicians are also common.

Street names are often the subject of dispute or conjecture. To solve some of these arguments, Auckland Libraries’ database of Auckland City Street Names gathers verified information (where available) on the origins of names, dates of formation and name changes for streets in the former Auckland City Council area.

Local historical societies and historians have provided the material for street names in Māngere, RodneyNorth Shore, Waitākere, Manurewaand Papatoetoe.
