Area of a town or country (8)

I believe the answer is:

district

(Other definitions for district that I've seen before include "Locality" , "Area of town or country" , "Region marked off for administrative or other purposes" , "'Area, territory (8)'" , "London Underground line represented in green" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Times.
