Gets its name from the Vauxhall Gardens established here by pioneer settler William Colby in the 1870s. These in turn were named after the Vauxhall Gardens in London, some of the gardeners of which were brought out to New Zealand. Colby had bought the 40-acre (160,000 m2) "Cheltenham" estate in 1869 behind what is now known as Cheltenham Beach.
