Centre, Administrative region in southern Cameroon.
The Centre is an administrative region in southern Cameroon with Yaoundé as its capital. The territory contains multiple districts and features varied landscapes of hills, plateaus, and valley areas across its expanse.
The region was created in 1983 when the former Centre-South Province split into two separate administrative areas. This reorganization was part of a broader governmental restructuring that reshaped Cameroon's administrative framework.
Different ethnic groups live throughout the region, each speaking their own languages and maintaining distinct traditions. You notice this diversity walking through neighborhoods and visiting markets, where different crafts, foods, and social customs are visible in daily life.
The region is connected by roads linking its districts and the capital, with bus services regularly operating between major towns. Having a vehicle or using public transportation is practical for exploring different areas of the territory.
The region holds Cameroon's capital city and main government institutions within its boundaries. This concentration of political power shapes the character and infrastructure of the entire area in noticeable ways.
