'''District''' is a term used to describe a type of administrative division, which in some countries is managed by local government. Across the world, areas known as "districts" vary greatly in size, spanning entire regions or counties, several municipalities, subdivisions of municipalities, school district, or political district.

== Definition ==

A '''district''' can be defined as a geographical area, created for administrative, political, or other purposes. The nature and function of districts often depend on the country and the context.

There are several types of districts including:

* '''Administrative Districts''': These are typically used for administrative purposes such as local governance. Examples include [[County|counties]] in the United States and [[Borough|boroughs]] in the United Kingdom.

* '''Political Districts''': These are used for electoral purposes. Examples include [[Congressional District|congressional districts]] in the United States and [[Parliamentary Constituency|parliamentary constituencies]] in the United Kingdom.
