Waitemata City was a territorial authority in urban parts of western Auckland. It was formed in 1974 from the southwestern part of the old Waitemata County. Both the County and City took their names from the Waitematā Harbour. In 1989, when New Zealand local government bodies underwent a major re-organisation, Waitemata City joined with its southern neighbours, the boroughs of Henderson, Glen Eden, and New Lynn, to form Waitakere City.
