History
Red Hill was once a sacred Pā site for local iwi in Papakura. With panoramic views of the entire Auckland Region, it once was used as a lookout point during the Māori wars to see the incoming waka from the Manukau Harbour and movements through the surrounding native forest. Also the soil on the hill was used to grow and contain the kai of the local Māori. The area is known to have rich and fertile soil ever since the community was founded as well as other rural areas throughout the Papakura District.
During the major reformation of local government in 1989, the Red Hill area was included into the Papakura District boundaries.
From October 2010, after a review of the Royal Commission on Auckland Governance, the entire Auckland Region was amalgamated into a single city authority. As well as the current Papakura District, all other territorial authorities were abolished and the entire area was dissolved into a single Auckland city council. The suburb of Red Hill was separated into the urban ward of Manurewa-Papakura, as well as the rural ward of Franklin, under the Auckland Council.
