Whangarei District is a territorial authority district in the Northland Region of New Zealand that is governed by the Whangarei District Council. The district is made up in area largely by rural land, and includes a fifth of the Northland Region.
Whangārei (Māori: [faŋaːˈɾɛi]) [4] is the northernmost city in New Zealand and the regional capital of Northland Region. It is part of the Whangarei District, created in 1989 from the former Whangārei City, Whangārei County and Hikurangi Town councils to administer both the city and its hinterland.
