Victoria Street is a street in the Auckland City Centre, New Zealand, located between the base of College Hill and Albert Park. The street is split into two sections at the junction of Queen Street, Victoria Street West and Victoria Street East.

History

Victoria Street West was formerly part of the foreshore of the Auckland waterfront. Victoria Park was the site of Freemans Bay, which was in-filled during the 19th century. The vent of the Albert Park Volcano was located at the modern location of the Victoria Street Carpark, which was quarried during the 1860s.^[1]^[2]

Victoria Street was the location of the first jail and courthouse in Auckland.^[3] The large block to the south-west of the Queen Street intersection included the courthouse, labour yards and gallows.^[2] Development of Victoria Street came later than early Auckland streets, which were focused on the waterfront to the north.^[2]

By the 1880s, the Victoria and Queen Street intersection had become one of the busiest locations in Auckland.^[3]

In 2024, Te Waihorotiu railway station is planned to open on Victoria Street.^[4] Currently Te Hā Noa, a linear park for pedestrians and cyclists is under construction between Federal Street and Kitchener Street.^[5]^[6]
