Before postal codes as described here were used, large cities were often divided into ''postal zones'' (or ''postal districts''), usually numbered from 1 up within each city. The newer postal code systems often incorporate the old zone numbers, as with [[London postal district]] numbers, for example. [[Dublin]], Ireland still uses postal district numbers, as postal codes are not used in the country at all. ([[An Post]] relies on [[Optical character recognition|OCR]] analysis of the entire address instead.) In [[New Zealand]], [[Auckland]], [[Wellington]] and [[Christchurch]] were also subdivided into postal zones, but these have fallen into disuse.
