Usually promoted as Auckland's "oldest suburb" since it dates from the earliest days of the European settlement of Auckland in 1841. Parnell was named after Samuel Duncan Parnell, who is credited with the establishment of the Eight hour day in New Zealand. The Borough of Parnell, established in 1877, was amalgamated into the Auckland City Council area in 1913.
