Location of Tarabulus Governorate (1963–1983) within Libya
Tarabulus Governorate or Tripoli Governorate was one of the governorates (muhafazah) of Libya from 1963 to 1983.[1] It contained the city of Tripoli, which was also its administrative capital.[2] Tarabulus is the Arabic name for Tripoli, and was sometimes applied to the entire Tripolitania province.
The governorate's population was 379,925 in 1964 and had risen to 544,842 by 1972.[3]
Although Tarabulus Governorate constituted less than 1% of the land area in Libya, more than 25% of the population lived there, with a density about five times greater than the mean of the other governorates.[4]
