Waikato County

Under the Local Government (Waikato Region) Reorganisation Order of 1989, nearly all of the county was merged with the boroughs of Huntly, Ngāruawāhia, most of Raglan County Council, and a small part of Waipa County Council, to form Waikato District Council.

[1] The council first met on 9 January 1877 at the Court House in Cambridge.

[3] The former County Council office at 455 Grey Street in Hamilton East opened in 1910.

[4] It is protected by a Category B listing in Hamilton City's District Plan.

[5] It was replaced by new offices to the rear of it, which had a foundation stone dated 4 February 1971 and were first used for a meeting on 21 March 1972.
