Change history:

  1. 1976-07-03: Cuban Law Number 1304 established a subdivision of Cuba into fourteen provinces and one special municipality, and beneath those, 169 municipalities.
  2. 2010-09-02: Law No. 110 took effect. In Matanzas province, Varadero municipality (former HASC code CU.MA.VA, 1998 est. pop. 19,898, area 32 km.², capital Varadero) merged with C�rdenas (former HASC CU.MA.CR). Artemisa province formed from part of La Habana province (namely, the municipalities of Alqu�zar, Artemisa, Bauta, Caimito, Guanajay, G�ira de Melena, Mariel, and San Antonio de los Ba�os) and part of Pinar del R�o province (Bah�a Honda, Candelaria, and San Crist�bal). Mayabeque province formed from the remainder of La Habana province. The capital of Manuel Tames municipality moved from Manuel Tames to Jamaica. I have changed the middle element of the HASC codes to reflect the new provincial division. I also changed the last element of the code for Caimito, to avoid duplication of codes; its former code was CU.LH.CA.

Other names of subdivisions:

  1. B�guanos: B�guano (variant)
