Because Thomas Henderson arrived from Dundee, Scotland in 1840 and bought 18,000 acres of land which later became the town known as Henderson's Mill..then Henderson and most of the surrounding west Auckland. He was responsible for the first business of the town - timber (106,000 cubic metres of kauri felled in 22 years of the mill's operation).
