List of streets in Hamilton, Waikato

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hamilton streets have been formed since the 1864 Invasion of the Waikato, after which the first crown grants were given to members of the occupying force, the 4th Waikato Militia,[1] and plans made of the initial street layout.[2] The tables below show the 1,782 streets listed by Hamilton City Council as at 3 August 2020.[3] They also include information from Hamilton City Libraries Heritage street name index cards.[4] As the dates of naming and the old maps (see External links below) show, the city has grown a lot since it was village in 1864. The shortest roads are small cul-de-sacs, the longest road reaching the centre of the city is River Road, which stretches 20 km (12 mi) to Ngāruawāhia.[5] The list is not comprehensive, omitting streets such as Percival Road.[6] The suburbs are as shown on the 2020 list, though there is some inconsistency, such as May and the adjoining June streets being shown in different suburbs.

There were 60 Hamilton census areas in 2018, as shown on this map. This list of streets is divided into 37 suburbs.
