Mayor of Dannevirke

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The mayor of Dannevirke officiated over the Dannevirke Borough and then the Dannevirke District of New Zealand. The borough was administered by the Dannevirke Borough Council. The initial office existed from 1892 until 1987, when Dannevirke Borough and County became Dannevirke District Council. This body was later amalgamated into the Tararua District as part of the 1989 local government reforms. There have been 17 mayors of Dannevirke.[1]
