[edit] Origin of name?

Related to the Indian city of Bombay?

No, the area is not directly named after the Indian city, they are named after the ship Bombay, which landed in Auckland and bought settlers to the area in 1865 Brian | (Talk) 08:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] contested statements removed

  • Stereotype (heading)
    • Aucklanders and other New Zealanders have a mostly light-hearted "love-hate" relationship. Stereotypically, Aucklanders view parts of the country "south of the Bombay Hills" as provincial and unsophisticated,{{Fact|date=February 2007}} while the rest of the country sees Aucklanders as brash and arrogant. {{Fact|date=February 2007}} For this reason, the boundary between Auckland and its southern neighbours bears great significance. People on both sides of the boundary are as likely to use the phrase "New Zealand stops at the Bombay Hills". See also the term Jafa for Aucklanders. {{Fact|date=February 2007}}
