Hong Kong is administratively divided into 18 districts. Each district has a district council.
District councils was formerly called district boards, for which the boards were established in 1982,[1] when Hong Kong was under British rule. However, the districts have limited relevance to the population, as few public services operate according to district boundaries. The police,[2] fire services, health services, education and hospital authorities, and postal service each define their own idiosyncratic geographic divisions.[3]
