Greenmount is a small suburb located in the city of Auckland, in the North Island of New Zealand. The area is on the eastern side of the Auckland city centre and is a large industrial area developed only in recent years. The area is under governance of the Auckland Council, and is home to a number of New Zealand and international businesses and organisations. It is named after the Greenmount or Green Hill volcano.
History
The Greenmount area was farmed by the Styaks family. The name recalls Mrs Styaks home at Randalstown in Northern Ireland, which was called Green Bank.[1]
