Newmarket History

Newmarket was strategically important to the various Māori iwi that occupied the land here.  Māori knew this area as Te Tī Tūtahi “Sacred cabbage tree standing alone.” This cabbage tree was a landmark for those travelling between the Manukau and Waitematā harbours.  Sadly, it was cut down in 1908 as it was considered a danger to the children attending the local school. 

The precinct housed cattle yards, market gardens, breweries, sawmills, bakers, ironmongers, and general retail.  People gathered here to buy and sell their wares.

Discover Newmarket

Newmarket is now home to 600+ retail businesses, more than 120 cafés, bars, and restaurants, a bowling alley, 3 cinema complexes, and Westfield Newmarket, New Zealand’s greatest mall.

One of Auckland’s finest places to shop, eat, and hang out with friends has long been Broadway. People visit all year long because of its lively environment, variety of stores, and essential link to the rest of the district.
