Waitomo District Council

The Waitomo County Act was passed in 1904 and the first meeting of the Waitomo County Council was held in September 1905. The Borough of Te Kuiti was constituted in 1910. In 1922 the Awakino County was amalgamated with the Waitomo Council in an area of the then Otorohanga County to form a separate local authority. Part of the Kawhia County was included with Waitomo County in 1956 and the balance incorporated with Otorohanga.
