Land districts, 2008
When the land fund (revenue from land sales) was made colonial revenue in 1877, land boards were established in each provincial area to oversee the development and settlement of its public (Crown) lands. The establishment of land districts for North Auckland in 1919 and Gisborne in 1922 was recognition of the scale of settlement activity taking place in those regions.
