A BRIEF HISTORY
—
The family firm of L.D. Nathan and Co. was started at Kororareka in the Bay of Islands in 1840 by David Lion Nathan, having left England to settle in the Antipodes. In 1841 he moved to Auckland where he married and developed a successful trading and textile business. The Nathan family have been highly influential in the establishment of New Zealand’s Jewish community and many public services we enjoy today. In 1910, David Nathan and his wife Simone built their summer residence in Manurewa and named the property ‘The Hill’. The original wooden villa was destroyed by fire in 1923 and a new permanent residence was rebuilt on the same site in 1925. It included a large estate with a working farm, extensive rose gardens, native bush, ponds and a Norman style water tower, an iconic feature of Manurewa. In 1964, with the development of the Southern Motorway, the estate was sold to accommodate residential growth in South Auckland. The land around the Nathan home was developed as the
Hillpark subdivision, while David Nathan Park and Homestead were held as public assets at the request of the Nathan family. The Nathan House was transformed to accommodate the mayor’s office and additional buildings were brought on-site for staff and visitor services. In 1978 Nathan Homestead was handed back to the community as a council-run arts and culture centre. In 2015 major renovation work commenced to improve the services and unique heritage features of the site, to ensure the centre was able to support the growing needs of our community. In 2017, Te Akitai Waiohua gifted the name Pukepuke (hilly) to David Nathan Park and Homestead, referring to their ancestor, Ihaka Takanini’s description of his land when it was sold to the Crown in 1842, a block that included the David Nathan Park. This name further acknowledges ‘The Hill’, a name affectionately used by the Nathan family for their home in Manurewa, and recognises the contributions of mana whenua and the Nathan family.
