One of the city's larger suburbs, it was largely farmland until after the Second World War. It was a separate borough from 1947 until local government reorganisation in 1989 amalgamated it with Auckland City. The derivation of the name Roskill is obscure, possibly a 19th century preacher of that name gave open air sermons on the hill.
