Avondale (/ˈævənˌdeɪl/ AV-ən-dayl) (Māori: Te Whau) is a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, located to the east of the Whau River on the Auckland isthmus. Avondale was established as a small settlement but grew following the establishment of a railway line, which in turn led to the establishment of brickworks. Following the settlement's growth an independent borough was formed, but was soon amalgamated into the City of Auckland.
