La Romana, Administrative province in southeastern Dominican Republic

The province extends over 653.95 square kilometers of tropical terrain, bordered by El Seibo, La Altagracia, the Caribbean Sea, and San Pedro de Macorís.

Originally established as an oil settlement in 1897, the region transformed into a major sugar production center with the construction of a large mill in 1917.

The Altos de Chavón district houses an artistic community and university where Dominican and international artists regularly perform in an outdoor amphitheater.

La Romana International Airport, opened in 2000, connects the province directly with multiple international destinations and serves the Casa de Campo resort complex.

The Central Romana Corporation maintains extensive influence in the region, providing employment to most residents through sugar production, tourism, and free trade zones.
