Stanmore Bay is a suburb and beach located on the Whangaparaoa Peninsula, in the Auckland Region of New Zealand. The beach is on the northern side of the peninsula. [3]
Stanmore bay was first settled by European settlers in the 1850s, and was named Glanville's Bay after the early residents. It was renamed Stanmore bay by the Hill family, who called it this after Stanmore in London. [4] The area was named Stanmore by Walter James Hill son of Henry Hill who emigrated to New Zealand in 1853, because it reminded the family of Stanmore, England where they came from. The Hill family purchased 500 acres to farm but because it was only accessible by boat, they found it difficult to pursue farming there. [ citation needed ]
Stanmore Bay covers 5.74 km2 (2.22 sq mi) [1] and had an estimated population of 13,290 as of June 2024, [2] with a population density of 1,972 people per km2.
