History

New Plymouth Province was established in 1853, renamed Taranaki Province in 1859, and disestablished in 1876.
The current council was established in 1989, by merging New Plymouth City Council with Clifton County Council, Inglewood County Council, and Waitara County Council.
One of New Plymouth District Council's goals is to preserve the local cultural heritage items, such as buildings, structures and areas, archaeological and waahi tapu sites.
