Description
Federico Román Province is an administrative region in northeastern Pando Department spanning Amazonian lowlands between the Beni River and the Brazilian border. It divides into three municipalities: Nueva Esperanza, Villa Nueva, and Santos Mercado, with Nueva Esperanza serving as the provincial capital.
History
The province was founded on October 19, 1963 during President Víctor Paz Estenssoro's administration. It emerged from the eastern territory of the former Abuná Province.
Culture
Portuguese-speaking communities and Spanish speakers share this border region, creating a mixed-language environment shaped by proximity to Brazil.
