Eden County
The Eden County, also known as the County of Eden was one of the counties of New Zealand. Established in 1876, the county covered the rural areas of the Auckland isthmus. The county gradually shrunk in size as the city of Auckland grew, and suburban areas became boroughs. History The County of Eden was established in 1842. It was replaced in 1849 by Governor William Hobson with a system of Hundreds, and reinstated in 1876. The county did not administer the area in the way local government does, instead was primarily used as a way to order land division and sales. In 1862, the Highways Act empowered local communities to form Road Boards and Highway Districts to administer areas, and by 1867 there were 20 highway districts in Eden County. Unlike most other counties in New Zealand, the Eden County devolved most of its administrative power and function to the highway and road boards for most of fits existence. The first boroughs to secede from Eden County were Parnell and Onehu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
County (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. History The Counties Bill of 1876 was initiated to merge 314 road boards into 39 counties. However, as a result of lobbying the number of counties had grown to 63 by the time the bill was enacted. They had chairmen, not mayors as boroughs and cities had; many legislative provisions (such as burial and land subdivision control) were different for the counties. By 1966, there were 112 counties. During the second half of the 20th century, many counties received overflow population from nearby cities. The result was often a merger of the two into a "district" (e.g., Rotorua) or a change of name to "district" (e.g., Waimairi) or "c ...

Grey Lynn
Grey Lynn is an inner suburb of Auckland, New Zealand, located to the west of the city centre. Originally a separate borough, Grey Lynn amalgamated with Auckland City in 1914. Grey Lynn is centred on Grey Lynn Park, which was not part of the original subdivision of 1883, since the land was too steep and too wet for house construction. In 1914 the land was drained and levelled for playing fields. The park is home to the annual Grey Lynn Park Festival, which attracts around 100,000 visitors on the third Saturday in November. The character of the area is often seen as "arty", and one of being a "traditional home to free-thinkers and anti-establishment types".

Politics Of The Auckland Region
Politics (from , ) is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status. The branch of social science that studies politics and government is referred to as political science. It may be used positively in the context of a "political solution" which is compromising and nonviolent, or descriptively as "the art or science of government", but also often carries a negative connotation.. The concept has been defined in various ways, and different approaches have fundamentally differing views on whether it should be used extensively or limitedly, empirically or normatively, and on whether conflict or co-operation is more essential to it. A variety of methods are deployed in politics, which include promoting one's own political views among people, negotiation with other political subjects, making laws, and exercising internal and external force, including wa ...

List Of Former Territorial Authorities In New Zealand
This is a list of former territorial authorities in New Zealand. "Territorial authority" is the generic term used for local government entities in New Zealand. Local government has gone through three principal phases with different structures: the provincial era, from 1853 to 1876; the counties and boroughs system from 1876 until 1989; and the current system of regions, cities and districts. This article attempts to list all territorial authorities which have been disestablished. Provincial era (until 1876) The original three provinces were established in 1841 by Royal Charter. The New Zealand Constitution Act 1846 reduced the number of provinces to two.

This era came to end with the Abolition of Provinces Act 1876. Post-provincial era (1876–1989) After New Zealand abolished its provinces in 1876, a system of ...
