The Northern Province is one of the 9 Provinces of Sri Lanka. The Provinces have existed since the 19th century but did not have any legal status until 1987 when the 13th Amendment to the 1978 Constitution of Sri Lanka established Provincial Councils. Between 1988 and 2006 the Province was temporarily merged with the Eastern Province to form the North-East Province. The capital of the Province is Jaffna. |
