Shakespear regional park
The Kawerau hapū Ngāti Kahu traditionally inhabited the area, prior to the arrival of Europeans. Ngāti Kahu's major focuses of settlement were around Te Haruhi Bay and Army Bay.Whangaparaoa Peninsula was purchased by the government in 1853, after which settlers began developing the land for grazing. Ngāti Kahu continued to live on the land until the 1890s. The Shakespear family acquired many of the landholdings, and farmed the area for much of the 20th century.
The northern area of the park was acquired by the New Zealand Army during World War II.
In 1967 the Shakespear family sold their land to the Auckland Regional Council, who established the Shakespear Regional Park.
