1833 territorial division of Spain

The 1833 territorial division of Spain divided the country into provinces, in turn classified into "historic regions" (Spanish: regiones históricas).^[1] This division was followed (helped by the enforcing of the 1834 Royal Statute) by the ensuing creation of provincial deputations, the government institutions for most of the provinces, remaining up to this date. Nearly all of the provinces retain roughly or precisely the 1833 borders.^[2]^[3]^{[n. 1]} Conversely, many of the historic regions correspond to present-day autonomous communities.^[2]
