The Westland District is 11 880.19 square kilometres, with a population of around 9000, making it one of the most sparsely populated areas of New Zealand. The District is one of three comprising the West Coast Region (the other two being Grey and Buller to the north). Hokitika is the largest town, holding 45% of the district's population. Other far smaller towns include Kumara, Ross, and Franz Josef.
The towns were largely established from the 1860's gold rushes. Unlike Grey and Buller to the north, the district has little coal. After the 1890's dredging boom, activity largely died down. Small scale gold mining has occurred around Ross in recent decades.
Much of the nephrite seen for sale in tourist shops in New Zealand come from this district. Hokitika has reinvented itself, as a tourist town, with jade carving shops lining its streets. The rare and uniquely west coast gem rocks goodletite, and aotea stone may also be found in the area.
The northern border is the Taramakau River, its eastern border is the main divide of the Southern Alps, the southern border at Big Bay then following a torturous route inland in remote country largely following the southern Border of the Mount Aspiring National Park to Makarora on State Highway 6.
Please note the southern border of the district does not match the border of the West Coast region, with the Otago and Southland Regions. The Buller District encompasses all of the Mount Aspiring National Park, a small section of which is in the other provinces. It is very remote country, and no Mindat locations have so far been effected by this.

Geochronology
Mineralization age: Cenozoic : 24.6 Ma to 20.02 ± 3.64 MaImportant note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
