Glenfield

Glenfield is a large residential suburb on Auckland's North Shore that grew from 1850s farmland into a sprawling commuter town after the Harbour Bridge opened in 1959. Local residents petitioned to rename the area from Mayfield to Glenfield in 1912, and the population boomed through the 1960s once it was declared a county town. Its heart is Glenfield Mall, which opened in 1971 as the first enclosed shopping centre on the North Shore.
