Haut-Congo Province

Haut-Congo Province was a province of the Republic of the Congo (Léopoldville), now the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

It was formed in April 1962 from part of the Orientale Province.

In 1966 it was merged back into the reconstituted Orientale Province.

"Haut Congo" means "Upper Congo", and refers to the province's location on the upper reaches of the Congo River.

[1] On 28 December 1966 the Orientale Province was reconstituted.
