Did you know Whangarei isn't our official name?

The Team Reporter from Whangārei Leader

The New Zealand Geographic Board has raised the question of just how many other cities and towns have been left in label limbo without an official name, so we checked.
It turns out, many have, including our own fair city of Whangarei. Was anyone else aware of this? What do you think? Should we use this chance to change our name?

Don't take our word for it. Use the Gazetteer search to find places in New Zealand and see check your place names have been made official.
