  • North Shore Thematic Review Vol 2 Ch 6 To
    Section B North Shore Area Studies Albany and East Coast Bays The camp ground at Long Bay, c.1930s. North Shore Libraries, E0018 Principal Authors: Heike Lutz & Theresa Chan North Shore Heritage - Thematic Review Report 391 Albany Theme 1 Land and People 1.2 The People of the North Shore There is little record of Maori occupation in the area before the arrival of Pakeha settlers. The Maori name for the place is believed to be Kaipatiki, meaning ‘to eat flounder, or the feeding ground of the flounder’.1 A small pa is recorded on the bank to the north of Lucas Creek and it is likely that local Maori relied on the creek as a source of eel, trout, crayfish and flounder. William Webster is the first Pakeha associated with a land purchase in the Albany area, although it is Daniel Clucas, arriving in the early 1840s, whose modified name was adopted to describe the area now known as Lucas Creek. Clucas is recorded as a flax miller and a landholder between the creek and Riverhead.2 Some other settler names associated with the area between the 1840s and the 1860s are: Gardiner, Langford, Maxwell, Kelly, Fair and Hellyer. In the mid-1860s, Thomas and Mary Forgham arrived in Auckland from Birmingham with an ambition to establish a self-sustaining community in Greenhithe. Since this area was only accessible by boat, few others were excited by the idea of living in isolation, but the Forghams remained. The Forgham house, known as Grey Oaks, is still standing on its original site.3 The following two decades saw the arrival of more Pakeha settlers, who together turned Greenhithe into a fruit growing area and by the late 1880s began shipping various types of fruit to Auckland including apples, pears and lemons.
