List of towns in New Zealand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Towns are not legally defined in New Zealand since the 1989 local government reforms; however, historically town districts and county towns were legally defined and recognised. This list includes both legal entities such as town districts and settlements commonly referred to as towns. It excludes cities, except for the smallest one (Gisborne).
