About: Selwyn District

An Entity of Type: Territorial authorities of New Zealand, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Selwyn District is a predominantly rural area in central Canterbury, on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island. It is named after the Selwyn River / Waikirikiri, which is in turn named after Bishop George Selwyn, the first Anglican bishop of New Zealand who, in 1843 and 1844, travelled the length of the country by horse, foot, boat and canoe, leaving in his wake a sprinkling of locations that now bear his name.

  • Der Selwyn District ist eine zur Region Canterbury gehörende Verwaltungseinheit in Neuseeland. Der Rat des Distrikts, Selwyn District Council (Distriktrat) genannt, hat seinen Sitz in der Stadt Rolleston, ebenso wie die Verwaltung des Distrikts. (de)
  • Le district de Selwyn est situé dans la région de Canterbury, sur la côte est de l'île du Sud de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Le district s'étend sur 6 420,38 km2, de la côte pacifique jusqu'aux Alpes du Sud. Au nord le fleuve Waimakariri assure la frontière entre le district de Selwyn et le district de Waimakariri. À l'est on trouve la grande ville de Christchurch, la péninsule de Banks et l'océan Pacifique. La frontière sud est le fleuve Rakaia, qui sépare ce district de celui d'Ashburton. L'ouest est dominé par les montagnes des Alpes du Sud. Le district peut se diviser en deux grandes zones : celle des plaines de Canterbury et celle des monts, plus près des Alpes du Sud. La plupart des petites villes se situent dans les plaines, ainsi que 95 % de la population du district. L'activité économique principale est l'agriculture, surtout l'élevage de bétail et de moutons dans les zones sèches, et l'industrie laitière et l'élevage de cerfs dans les zones à précipitations plus importantes. Le recensement de 2006 y a compté 33 666 habitants. Les villes principales sont Darfield, Leeston (le siège du conseil du district), Lincoln et Rolleston. Le district inclut, dans l'ouest, le parc national d'Arthur's Pass. (fr)
