Hillsborough, Canterbury

Hillsborough is a southern suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand.

The area was first owned by Edward Garland, who called it Broomfield Farm. Garland grazed cattle on the low-lying land south of the Heathcote River, and sheep on the slopes of the Port Hills.^[1] The farm was later renamed Hillsborough.^[2] Much of the land on the flat is now zoned industrial.^[1] Garlands Road is named for Edward Garland.^[3]

There used to be many brickworks in Hillsborough at the bottom of the Port Hills.^[4]
