Postos administrativos (administrative posts) are the main subdivisions of districts.
This name, in use during colonial times, was abolished after independence,[1] and was replaced by localidades (localities).
[2] Administrative posts are headed by a Secretário (secretary), which before independence were called Chefes de Posto (post chief).
Administrative posts can be further subdivided into localities, also headed by secretaries.
