Franklin County, New Zealand, the Glossary

Counties of New Zealand

A system of counties of New Zealand was instituted after the country dissolved its provinces in 1876, and these counties were similar to other countries' systems, lasting with little change (except mergers and other localised boundary adjustments) until 1989, when they were reorganised into district and city councils within a system of larger regions. Franklin County, New Zealand and counties of New Zealand are 1989 disestablishments in New Zealand.
