The central province occupies 992 square kilometers of land with mountains, valleys, and the Yuna River flowing through its territory.

The province received its name from Archbishop Adolfo Alejandro Nouel, who served as interim president of the Dominican Republic in 1912.

The province celebrates multiple festivals throughout the year, featuring merengue music, traditional dances, and local gastronomy from the central region.

The capital city Bonao connects to major Dominican highways, providing direct access to Santo Domingo and Santiago through modern road infrastructure.
