Narrow Neck is a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand. Until the mid-19th century, Devonport was connected with the rest of the North Shore by a causeway between Ngataringa Bay and the Hauraki Gulf. This causeway gave the appearance of a "narrow neck". On the eastern side of this strip of land is the Narrow Neck beach, on the western side there was an extensive mangrove swamp. In the late 19th century the majority of this mangrove swamp was drained and filled in creating land used as a racecourse until the 1930s and subsequently a golf course. In the World Wars the area was used for a military training camp. Close to the western edge of the reclaimed area a new road was put through creating a more direct link between Devonport and Takapuna. Narrow Neck is under the local governance of the Auckland Council. In the 2006 census, Narrow Neck has a population of 3,618, an increase of 45 from 2001. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Narrow Neck, New Zealand」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
