Whangārei is the northernmost city in New Zealand and the regional capital of Northland Region.

The city population was estimated to be 56,900 in June 2023, an increase from 47,000 in 2001.
The Northland Region is the northernmost of New Zealand's 16 local government regions. New Zealanders sometimes refer to it as the Winterless North because of its mild climate all throughout the year.

At the 2018 New Zealand census, Northland recorded a population growth spurt of 18.1% since the previous 2013 census, placing it as the fastest growing region in New Zealand, ahead of other strong growth regions such as the Bay of Plenty Region and Waikato.
