History[edit]
The province of Équateur created in 1917 was much larger than today. Over time it went through a number of border and name changes. Under the 2006 Constitution it was to assume its current boundaries, but administratively they were not finalized until 2015. The new province was created from the old Équateur District together with the city of Mbandaka.
Administrative divisions[edit]
As of 2006 the revised province consisted of nine administrative subdivisions, two of which are large towns, Mbandaka and Wangata; and seven of which are "territories":[3][4]
Bikoro Territory (Bukoro Territory) with the town of Bikoro
Lukolela Territory with the town of Lukolela
Basankusu Territory with the town of Basankusu
Makanza Territory with the town of Makanza
Bolomba Territory with the town of Bolomba
Bomongo Territory with the town of Bomongo
Ingende Territory with the town of Ingende
