We have another complicated situation in Pretoria. The City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality was created on , by merging a number of smaller entities, including the Greater Pretoria Metropolitan Council. The new metropolitan municipality covers an area of about 3, km. The Pretoria City Council was downgraded to a local municipal council.
Then on the municipal council voted to rename the capital to Tshwane. It will become official when approved by the Minister for Arts and Culture. A partisan pro-Pretoria summary of the name change issues may be found in source [5], a legal brief.
The City of Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality is divided into 76 municipal wards, plus a few slivers of land not in any ward. It is also divided into a large number of townships, overlapping with the wards, with a lot of territory not in any township. I believe one of the wards, Pretoria Central, is the nucleus of the old Pretoria city, and will retain that name.
Tshwane, originally after a native chief's name, has been the name used for Pretoria by some native groups for years. Local authorities also gloss it as Zulu for "we are the same". The name Pretoria was chosen to commemorate Andries Pretorius, reminding many citizens of the despised colonial past.
It shows the change of the name of Northern Province to Limpopo. ISO was notified of this change by the South African Department of Arts and Culture the department in charge of geographic names on Northern Province had already begun using its new name, Limpopo, by January, However, the province's Web site stated that "The new name of the Province will become official after the amendment of section 1 g of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa.
A request by the legislature has been submitted to Parliament for the necessary amendment to be submitted. That happened on International standard ISO was published on The draft standard showed a division of South Africa into nine provinces, with a two-letter code for each. The final standard shows the same nine provinces, but four of their codes have been changed. The new set of codes is shown in the table below.
The book "Administrative Subdivisions of Countries" listed preliminary figures from the census, with a warning about the large margins of error. Canada became a self-governing dominion in In , an Imperial Conference clarified that the dominions were autonomous communities within the British Empire, equal in status to Great Britain.
The formal name "Dominion of Canada" was phased out from the s to , in favor of simply "Canada". The British Commonwealth of Nations was formally inaugurated on , with Canada and Newfoundland as members. The Parliament of the United Kingdom retained the power to approve or reject some amendments to the Canadian Constitution until Canada began with four provinces in There have been territorial acquisitions since then, but only one during the 20th century: Newfoundland, in The subdivisions of the Canadian provinces and territories are varied in size, status, and stability.
The eastern provinces tend to be divided into counties; the western provinces, sections, divisions, or districts; and Yukon is only subdivided for electoral or census purposes. Prince Edward Island appears to have been subdivided into Prince, Queens, and Kings Counties for as long as it has been a province. Northwest Territory had been subdivided into the districts of Franklin, Keewatin, and Mackenzie since , although their borders had been somewhat modified; then, about , it was changed to five districts Baffin, Fort Smith, Inuvik, Keewatin, and Kitikmeot.
Other provinces are more complex. The units of local government include cantons, cities, community councils, counties, districts, divisions, muncipalities, parishes, sections, towns, and villages. There are sub-varieties, including county regional municipalities, district municipalities, metropolitan municipalities, and municipal townships. Many provinces have more than one level of subdivision. Most of them have changed their subdivisions several times.
See source [10]. This information can be put together to approximate the territorial extent of subdivisions. These are the same as "postal designators" - abbreviations used by Canadian Post.
Groups of provinces with the same first digit can be referred to as a region. Region names are Atlantic 1 , Prairies 4 , and Territories 6. Post: Canadian postal codes have the format " ana nan ", where each a is a letter and each n is a digit.
The first letter in a postal code can be used to locate the province. Some provinces can use any one of several letters.
This column shows the letters that identify each province. Conv-E: Conventional abbreviations used by Anglophone Canadians before standardization. Sometimes Newf.
Conv-F: Conventional abbreviations used by Francophone Canadians before standardization.
