Hermanas Mirabal Province, Province in Cibao region, Dominican Republic
The province stretches across fertile agricultural lands at 481 meters elevation, containing three municipalities: Salcedo, Tenares, and Villa Tapia.
Initially known as Salcedo, the province separated from Espaillat in 1952 and received its current name in 2007 to honor the Mirabal sisters.
The three Mirabal sisters became national symbols of resistance after their assassination in 1960 for opposing Rafael Trujillo's dictatorship.
The municipality of Tenares functions as the economic center of the province, generating half of the total tax revenue through agricultural exports.
The province houses the Mirabal Museum, established by Dedé Mirabal, which displays personal items and historical artifacts from the revolutionary sisters.
