The Cyclopedia of New Zealand [Canterbury Provincial District]

[Glenroy] — Glenroy

Glenroy is a sheepfarming and grain growing district situated about six miles south-west of Glentunnel. The land is good and undulating, and is taken up for the most part in areas of moderate size. A considerable stream, which has its source in the mountains a few miles to the north-west, passes through the district, and the land falls in terraces on both sides to the water's level. Glenroy possesses a public school and a post office, and has a bi-weekly mail service with Christchurch, via Glentunnel, to which the mails are conveyed in a buggy.
