Contents

Glendene is a mainly residential suburb with the north-eastern portion devoted to light industry.

History

Glendene is named after a farm in the area owned by Percy Jones, which was later subdivided for housing. [3] [4] The Western shores of the Whau River were home to many clay and pottery yards in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the Malam, Laurie, Black & Scott and Hepburn yards. [5] Most of the development of Glendene as a residential suburb occurred in the 1960s and 1970s. [6]

In April 2014, Glendene became a part of the new Kelston electorate.

The Glendene Community Hub Archived 21 January 2020 at the Wayback Machine was opened in March 2015 in response to Council studies that showed a need for community development in the area.
