Uíge Province, Administrative province in northwestern Angola

The province spans across mountainous terrain and fertile valleys, containing sixteen municipalities including Alto Cauale, Ambuila, and Maquela do Zombo.

From the Middle Ages until the arrival of Portuguese colonizers, this region formed the central territory of the Kongo Kingdom, known for its metallurgy and population density.

The Bakongo people constitute the main population group in the province, maintaining their traditional farming methods and speaking the Kikongo language.

The province connects to other regions through the Uíge Airport, which provides regular flight services to the capital city of Luanda.

During the 1950s, this region emerged as Angola's primary coffee production center, transforming from a modest market area into a significant agricultural zone.
