The Northland Region ( mi, Te Tai Tokerau) is the northernmost of New Zealand's 16 local government regions.

Franklin (New Zealand Electorate)
Franklin was a rural New Zealand parliamentary electorate. It existed from 1861 to 1996 during four periods. Population centres The original electorate from 1861 to 1881 included the South Auckland towns of Papatoetoe, Papakura, Pukekohe and Waiuku, and west of Waiuku to the West Coast. When reconstituted in 1890 the northern boundary was north of Papakura, and (with the growth of Auckland) now excluded Papatoetoe. In December 1887, the House of Representatives voted to reduce its membership from general electorates from 91 to 70.

This resulted in a major restructuring of electorates, and Franklin was one of eight electorates to be re-created for the 1890 election. The 1981 census had shown that the North Island had experienced further population growth, and three additional general seats were ...
