Wallace County, New Zealand facts for kids
Wallace County was a special area in the South Island of New Zealand. Think of it like a local government area, similar to a district council today. It was one of the many counties that helped manage different parts of the country a long time ago.
Wallace County was in charge of things like local roads and services for the people living there. A person named James Mackintosh was even the chairman, which is like being the main leader, for a while.
Over time, New Zealand's local government system changed. In 1989, Wallace County was officially stopped. Its area then became part of a bigger region called the Southland District, which still exists today.
