From the 1840s, the rural area that would become Glen Eden was known as the Parish of Waikomiti in the County of Eden. By the early 20th century, the area was administered as a part of the Waitemata County, a vast area which administered much of West and Northern Auckland. The area was a part of the Waikumete Riding, a section of the county which covered Glen Eden (then Waikumete), Titirangi and Waiatarua. After World War II, a movement within the community began to separate the township of Waikumete from the surrounding Waitemata County, due to the perception that local government needed to increase rates to improve the area's roading. In 1921 this was achieved, and the Glen Eden Town Council was formed. with Glen Eden becoming a part of the Waitākere Ranges local board area, administered by the Waitākere Ranges Local Board. Glen Eden is represented on the Auckland Council by Waitākere ward councillors Ken Turner and Shane Henderson.
