瓦武尼亚区
瓦武尼亚区是斯里兰卡的25个区之一,是该国第二级的行政区划。该区由一个区政府秘书处管理,秘书处由中央政府任命的区秘书(以前称为政府代理人)领导。该区的首府是瓦武尼亚市。
从公元前5世纪到公元13世纪,今天的瓦武尼亚区是拉贾拉特的一部分。此后,瓦武尼亚区由支付贡赋给贾夫纳王国的瓦尼亚尔部落首领统治。该区随后被葡萄牙、荷兰和英国控制。1815年,英国人控制了整个锡兰岛。他们将岛屿划分为三个基于种族的行政结构:低地的僧伽罗人、坎迪地区的僧伽罗人和泰米尔人。这个被称为瓦尼区的地区属于泰米尔人的管理。1833年,根据科尔布鲁克-卡梅伦委员会的建议,基于种族的行政结构被统一为一个行政管理,并划分为五个地理省份。瓦尼区与贾夫纳区和曼纳尔区一起组成了新的北方省。
瓦尼区后来更名为穆莱蒂武区,随后又更名为瓦武尼亚区。当锡兰获得独立时,瓦武尼亚是北方省的三个区之一。穆莱蒂武区在1978年9月从瓦武尼亚区的北部地区分离出来。
瓦武尼亚区的部分地区在内战期间长期处于泰米尔伊拉姆解放虎组织的控制下。2008年,斯里兰卡军队重新夺回了整个区。
