Take the short ferry ride from downtown Auckland and the 20 minute walk through picturesque Devonport, and you come to North Head Historic Reserve. Sitting where the City of Sails meets Hauraki Gulf Maritime Park, North Head is one of over 50 extinct volcanic cones that dot the landscape of the Auckland isthmus. The promontory's form and location have seen it play an important military role from the earliest times of human occupation.

Early Maori Occupation of North Head

For the first Polynesian migrants arriving in their ocean-going canoes, the narrow stretch of land they called Tamaki Makaurau was a transit point rather than a place of settlement. Before moving southward Maori tribe Tainui put a stake in the ground, when a tohunga (priest or scholar) named Taikehu ascended Maunguika and gave the hill its name.

By the time the Endeavour visited in 1769 - Captain Cook did not sail among the islands of the inner gulf but surmised correctly that sheltered waters lay beyond them - the Tainui tribe Ngati Paoa had moved in and taken possession of North Head. In the early 1790’s Ngati Paoa were defeated in battle by Ngati Whatua, who would establish themselves as tangata whenua of the isthmus. But with the enemy defeated Ngati Whatua had little use for North Head, and soon abandoned it as a pa site.
