Zaire Province, Province in northwestern Angola.

The Zaire Province covers 40,130 square kilometers of territory between the Atlantic Ocean and Democratic Republic of Congo, with grasslands and forests throughout the region.

The region formed part of the Kingdom of Kongo from 1390 until 1891, when it maintained independence before becoming a Portuguese territory until 1914.

The Bakongo people represent the main ethnic group in Zaire Province, maintaining their traditional Kikongo language alongside Portuguese in daily communications.

The province contains six municipalities including Cuimba, Mbanza Congo, Noqui, N'zeto, Soyo, and Tomboco, connected through a network of regional roads.

The capital city M'banza-Kongo holds UNESCO World Heritage status as one of the oldest royal capitals in central Africa.
