district
Administrative zone boundary
A district is a defined area within a larger region, typically established for administrative, electoral, or functional purposes: the financial district, a school district, congressional districts.
Cities divide into districts by character or use—theater districts, historic districts, red-light districts.
To district is to divide an area into such zones, though the noun dominates.
