Municipalities of the Dominican Republic

I don't yet have populations and areas for the new subdivisions of Distrito Nacional and Santo Domingo, so I have left the totals listed under Distrito Nacional.

The list below shows 161 second-order subdivisions of the Dominican Republic. There are 112 municipios (municipalities) and 49 distritos municipales (municipal districts). The list reflects the splitting of San José de Ocoa province from Peravia on 2002-01-01; before that date, subdivisions with .JO. in them were in Peravia province. It also reflects the splitting of Santo Domingo province from Distrito Nacional in 2002-05; before then, subdivisions with either .NC. or .SD. in them were in Distrito Nacional.

This list is based on the Oficina Nacional de Estadística  Web site. The population figures given there agree with the national census of 1993-09-24/25. Do the municipalities shown represent the status as of 1993-09-24/25? Not necessarily. The Web site lists some of them without a figure for area. Also, there are province maps with dots representing municipalities, and some of those maps show municipalities that aren't on the list for the province. Another source said that the Dominican Republic had 97 municipalities in 1993. At this point, I can't give a definite as-of date for the list.
