History
Tramway Road, the eastern boundary of Enderley, was shown as a proposed tramway on an 1865 map. [10] It seems to have been of double width to accommodate a tramway to Cambridge [11] and to have first been discussed by Kirikiriroa Road Board in 1872, [12] though clearing and gravelling didn't start until 1891. [13]
Insoll Avenue was named in 1908 after T.B. Insoll, the owner of the property and a former clerk to the then local council, Waikato County. [14] John Street, [15] Fifth [16] and Enderley Avenues were created in 1913, Enderley being Muriel Street until 1915, [17] when Halifax Street was added. [18] There was little development until the 1920s, [19] electricity being supplied from 1925. [20]
From the start drainage was a problem, [21] [22] [23] as it was in 1930 [24] and remains a problem. [17]
Poets' Corner (see below) was a 1959 Housing Corporation project. The area north of Insoll Road was another Housing Corporation development from 1964 [25] to 1968. [26]
The Orchard Avenue area was built in 1968, on the site of an orchard. [22] [23]
Also, there is a building project off Tramway Road, to the south-east in Ruakura, where 500 new homes will be built in the area for the new $3.3 billion transport hub being operated by Tainui Group Holdings (TGH). The area now has many middle income homeowners moving in and renovating the older properties as they are seen as good investments and solid first homes being from the 1960s and 1970s.
Around the Fifth Ave area of Enderley there are some streets that mainly have privately owned homes that have been renovated; as this has happened the streets have changed to become safer areas.
