Monte Plata Province, Eastern province in Dominican Republic
Monte Plata Province spans across 2,632 square kilometers of land, bordered by eight provinces including Sánchez Ramírez, Duarte, and Santo Domingo.
The province emerged from a territorial division in 1982, previously belonging to San Cristóbal, with its capital city established from relocated settlements of Monte Cristi and Puerto Plata.
Local communities maintain traditional practices through folk music performances, storytelling sessions, and celebrations that reflect Dominican heritage in the eastern region.
Agriculture forms the economic foundation of Monte Plata, with extensive cultivation of cocoa, sugar cane, corn, yams, and citrus fruits throughout the territory.
The Ozama and Yabacao rivers flow through Monte Plata Province, creating a network of waterways that sustain local farming activities and natural ecosystems.
