Provinces of New Zealand in North Island

New Ulster Province Provinces of New Zealand Seal Country New Zealand Island North Island Established 1846[1] Abolished 1853[1] Named after Ulster

**New Ulster** was a [province](/source/Provinces_of_New_Zealand) of the [Colony of New Zealand](/source/Colony_of_New_Zealand) that existed between 1841 and 1853. It was named after the [Irish province](/source/Provinces_of_Ireland) of [Ulster](/source/Ulster).

## Creation

Between 1841 and 1846, the province included all the [North Island](/source/North_Island). With the passing of the [New Zealand Constitution Act 1846](/source/New_Zealand_Constitution_Act_1846), the province was defined as the [North Island](/source/North_Island) north of the [Pātea River](/source/P%C4%81tea_River) mouth. Like the other province of New Zealand at the time, [New Munster Province](/source/New_Munster_Province), New Ulster Province was headed by a [Lieutenant-Governor](/source/Lieutenant-Governor) who reported to the [Governor of New Zealand](/source/Governor_of_New_Zealand).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

## Abolition

In 1852, a new [Constitution Act](/source/New_Zealand_Constitution_Act_1852) was passed, and the New Ulster province was abolished and divided into [Auckland Province](/source/Auckland_Province), part of the [Wellington Province](/source/Wellington_Province) and [New Plymouth province](/source/Taranaki_Province) (later Taranaki Province).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]
