La Habana Province bordered Pinar del Río, and Matanzas.

It had coasts in the south and north and had dozens of towns and a few small cities which rank between the 20 and 40 largest of the island.

Much of the province's agriculture was geared towards the production of food, primarily cattle, potatoes and fruit.

Unlike much of Cuba, sugar and tobacco played only a small role in the province's economy.

There was also much industrialization in the province, with numerous electricity plants and sugar mills.
