NAME:
Ruarangi Rd was known as Hillside Tce until 1932.
Ruarangi Rd is named after the original name for the maunga: Te Puke o Ruarangi. See information provided by Claudette Hauiti to MAHS (Hauiti, 2011, p.8).
Auckland Libraries say it is probably named after a lava cave, Te Aro Tomo O Ruarangi, located on the south side of the maunga (Auckland Libraries).
