Auckland University College opened in 1883 with 95 students in a former courthouse and jail, as a constituent college of the University of New Zealand. It became the University of Auckland in 1957 and fully autonomous when the federal University of New Zealand was dissolved in 1961. In 2021 it received the Māori name Waipapa Taumata Rau, gifted by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei. Its main campuses are in central Auckland.
