In 1868 the „Native Compensation Court‟ set aside a „native reserve‟ at Te Ararata (Black Bridge) but title to it was not ultimately granted.

These reserves included a „recreation reserve‟ covering Māngere Mountain, as well as a „school reserve‟, a „quarry and water reserve‟, a „water and recreation‟ reserve, a quarry reserve, and a cemetery reserve.
