History

Prior to European settlement, the area occupying modern-day Spreydon was called Wai Mōkihi and there was a small settlement (pā) here was known as Ōmōkihi.[2] Spreydon area was predominantly swampland connected to the nearby Ōpāwaho / Heathcote River, interspersed with fields of tussock.[3] There is also evidence of this area having Māori human remains.[4]

The area was first settled by Europeans in 1853, when 300 hectares of land bordering on Lincoln Road were purchased by Augustus Moore, who gave it the name Spreydon Farm.[5] The origins of this name are disputed, with some claiming it refers to family land in Ireland and others that it is named after a place in Devonshire known to Moore.[6] Moore farmed the land and ran a brewery and tavern, known as the Spreydon Arms, on his land along Lincoln Road until 1865, when he sold his property to William Sefton Moorhouse. A baptist church was soon established in the area, built out of a former sod house on land donated by a neighbouring farmer by Thomas Jefcoate.[7] The church's congregation steadily grew as more people settled the area, and continues to operate to this day.

In 1911, the area was constituted as a borough with its own council to reflect the growing population of the area. By this point, the former property had been heavily subdivided with several large roads through the area.[8] The borough continued for roughly a decade, before it was incorporated into the larger Christchurch City Council in 1921.[9]
