Auckland Region, Administrative region in North Island, New Zealand

The Auckland Region encompasses urban centers, rural landscapes, and islands across 4,941 square kilometers along the northern section of New Zealand's North Island.

The region transformed from Māori settlements to British colonization in 1840, when William Hobson named it after George Eden, Earl of Auckland.

The population reflects New Zealand's diversity with substantial communities of European, Māori, Pacific Islander, and Asian residents speaking multiple languages.

The region maintains an extensive transportation network of buses, trains, and ferries, connecting 1.7 million residents across metropolitan and suburban areas.

The territory contains 53 volcanic centers forming the Auckland Volcanic Field, with numerous extinct volcanoes creating distinct geographic formations throughout the landscape.
