Glendene is a suburb of West Auckland, in New Zealand. It is under the local governance of the Auckland Council.
Glendene is a mainly residential suburb with the north-eastern portion devoted to light industry.
History
Glendene is named after a farm in the area owned by Percy Jones, which was later subdivided for housing. The Western shores of the Whau River were home to many clay and pottery yards in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including the Malam, Laurie, Black & Scott and Hepburn yards. Most of the development of Glendene as a residential suburb occurred in the 1960s and 1970s.
In April 2014, Glendene became a part of the new Kelston electorate.
The Glendene Community Hub Archived 21 January 2020 at the Wayback Machine was opened in March 2015 in response to Council studies that showed a need for community development in the area.
