Notable residents of the suburb have included international golfer Michael Campbell and New Zealand popstar Rob Arnold from the chart topping group Boyband.
The area was settled by Māori for many years before the arrival of Europeans, and several pa sites are located nearby. The area was also the site of many inter-iwi conflicts, notably in the 1820s, when the area was invaded by the followers of Te Rauparaha.
Sports stars such as Michael Campbell, Lynette Brooky, Tamati Ellison, Dejan Gunson and Rachael Warren were all born and raised in Titahi Bay.
