- The Tainui and Te Kawerau-a-Maki peoples are the ancestors of the Ngai Tai Tribe. This group lived in Waitakere's forest cover. They had control over land all the way up to Takapuna, through to Mahurangi, and as far north as the Kaipara.

- The Ngati Paoa people began to make their way into the Hauraki Gulf in the early 18th century, going as far north as Mahurangi. Ngati Whatua o Kaipara invaded the isthmus between 1740 and 1750, murdering Wai-o-supreme Hua's leader in the process. By intermarrying with the Nga Oho, who were Wai-o-Hua ancestors, the invaders established their dominance over the isthmus. After that, there was a period of cautious peace during which the Tamaki tribes were vulnerable to assault due to Ngati Paoa's battle with the Ngapuhi tribes in the north.
- The Tamaki Tribes built pa and terraced the volcanic cones between 1600 and 1750. Tens of thousands of people lived there at the height of the population boom in 1750. It was the richest and most populous region in pre-European New Zealand.
- Early Maori had access to significant resources in Auckland's coastline region. For food, seasonal migration took place. Fishing for sharks and kawhai was popular in the Tamaki River. Around Ohuiarangi, there were lots of wood pigeons. On Browns Island and on the lush soils of Howick, kumara, taro, yams, and gourds were farmed and stored before being transported to the peninsula.
