Wellington is one of Tasmania’s twenty land districts, on the rugged west and north-west coast of the state. It was proclaimed as a county in 1836.
It runs between Bass Strait in the north and the Southern Ocean to the south, bordered inland by the Devon and Russell districts.
The district is thinly settled wilderness and pastoral country, with only small, scattered settlements along its rivers and coast.
