Dinsdale is the westernmost suburb of Hamilton in New Zealand. Originally called Frankton West,[citation needed] it was renamed in July 1961 after Thomas Dinsdale.[3] Dinsdale grew rapidly in the 1960s.[4] It is located around a low ridge with some views westward to open farm land. It has a large sports ground and shopping complex with a supermarket, shops and Dinsdale Library,[5] one of the branches of the Hamilton City Libraries. The community church of West Hamilton is located in the suburb.[6]
