Also known as administrative area

A district is a type of administrative division that in some countries is managed by the local government. Across the world, areas known as "districts" vary greatly in size, spanning regions or counties, several municipalities, subdivisions of municipalities, school district, or political district.

AI overview

A district is an area of land managed by local government, though what counts as a district varies widely around the world—it might cover an entire region, just part of a city, or serve a specific purpose like running schools or elections. Districts matter because they're the local governmental units that provide services and make decisions affecting the people who live within them.
