Kita-Saitama District, Saitama
Kita-Saitama District (北埼玉郡 Kita-Saitama-gun) was a district located in Saitama Prefecture, Japan.
Prior to its abolition, Kita-Saitama District had three towns:
- Town of Kisai (騎西町; Kisai-machi)
- Town of Kitakawabe (北川辺町; Kitakawabe-machi)
- Town of Ōtone (大利根町; Ōtone-machi)
On March 23, 2010, all 3 towns merged with the city of Kazo to newly create the city of Kazo and the district dissolved. As a result, it was the first district to dissolve within Saitama Prefecture since the districts were reorganized in 1896.
