The boroughs of New Zealand were territorial local authorities that governed the county's urban areas, existing from the colonial period until the major local government reforms of 1989. They existed alongside the country's counties, town districts, and other territorial local authorities during that period. Boroughs with over 20,000 population could be granted city status.
