Historic Governorates of Yemen
- Historic Governorates of Yemen
Before 1990, the Republic of Yemen did not exist. Instead, the northern part existed as North Yemen (or formally as the "Yemen Arab Republic"), and the southern part existed as South Yemen (or formally as the "People's Democratic Republic of Yemen"). The two Yemens merged to form the Republic of Yemen in May, 1990.
Below are the various administrative divisions of the two Yemens as they existed before 1990.
Governorates of South Yemen
Following independence, South Yemen was divided into six governorates (Arabic "muhafazat"), with roughly natural boundaries, each given a Roman numeral.
Provinces of North Yemen
Until 1980, North Yemen was split into governates. In 1980, the country was reorganized into eight provinces (liwa).
