Its capital was the city of Tripoli. Between 1911 and 1934 it had been the separately governed colony of Italian Tripolitania. In 1963 the province was split into: * Al Khums Governorate * Az Zawiyah Governorate *Gharian Governorate *Misrata Governorate *Tarabulus Governorate Demographics Population Tripolitania is Libya's most populous region (compared to Fezzan and Cyrenaica).
