Onehunga is a suburb of Auckland in New Zealand and the location of the Port of Onehunga, the town's small port on the Manukau Harbour. It is eight kilometres south of the town centre, close to the volcanic cone of Maungakiekie One Tree Hill. It changed into previously governed by way of Auckland City Council till the merger of all of Auckland's councils into the 'exceptional metropolis' in 2010. Onehunga is a residential and mild-industrial suburb. According to the 2013 census, there were 14,733 citizens in Onehunga. There are nearly 1,000 business and business corporations inside the location. Onehunga stretches south from Royal Oak to the north shore of the Manukau Harbour. To the east are the areas of Oranga and Te Papapa; to the west, Hillsborough. On the southern shore of the Manukau Harbour, and connected to Onehunga via two bridges, is the suburb of Mangere Bridge.

The call Onehunga is Māori and in all likelihood method "burial area", relating to the Māori burial caves in the area, likely the various lava flows issuing from One Tree Hill Maungakiekie. Another viable meaning is "seashore or sand for one and people for hunga. Onehunga became near one of the richest regions of the Auckland Isthmus, and noticed many battles in pre-European times. In the 1830s decades before the Europeans arrived in larger numbers inside the region, the vicinity become the main Ngati Whatua agreement, which had all started to slowly flow again to places north of the Manukau Harbour after the Musket Wars.
