The district does not include the area around Foxton, Foxton Beach or the mouth of the Manawatu River. It also excludes the area around the city of Palmerston North (including Ashhurst). The district has an area of 2,624 km².==Name==Manawatu is said to have been named by Hau, a great Māori explorer. When searching for his wife who had left him for another lover, Hau is said to have pursued her along the south west coast of the North Island. As he travelled, he came across and named river mouths including Whanganui, Whangaehu and Rangitikei according to events that befell him at the time. He came across a large, wide river mouth. In awe of the sight and in fear he might not be able to cross it, he stated "Ka tū taku manawa" (My heart stands still). {{dead link|date=September 2018}} 2. ^{{cite press release |title=National Selects Ian Mckelvie As Rangitikei Candidate |url= http://www.voxy.co.nz/national/national-selects-ian-mckelvie-rangitikei-candidate/5/91057 |accessdate=21 February 2013 |date=30 May 2011 |publisher = Voxy.co.nz}} 3. ^1 {{cite press release |title=Mayor's busy final week |url= http://infonews.co.nz/news.cfm?id=82467 |accessdate=21 February 2013 |date=14 December 2011 |publisher = Manawatu District Council }} 4. ^{{cite news |last=Crosbie |first=Sandra |title=Mayor Kouvelis takes the reins |url= http://www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-standard/your-manawatu/feilding-herald/6580996/Mayor-Kouvelis-takes-the-reins |accessdate=21 February 2013 |newspaper=Manawatu Standard |date=15 March 2012}} Further reading
