In the Middle Ages, the Logudoro region was the center of one of the four quasi-kingdoms in which Sardinia was divided, the Giudicato di Torres or Logoduro, the first capital being Ardara, later replaced by Sassari.

Whilst the Italian government challenged the law,[8] thus stalling its implementation,[9] on March 12, 2022, the Constitutional Court ruled in favor of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia.

There are 92 comuni (municipalities) in the province, the largest of which are Sassari, Olbia, Alghero, Porto Torres, Tempio Pausania, Sorso, Ozieri, Ittiri and Sennori.

[3] The province contains some of the most famous resorts of Sardinia including Castelsardo, Porto Torres, Alghero, the Riviera del Corallo, Stintino and others.

The inner part of the province in the traditional Logoduro region is characterized by a hilly and mountainous landscape, with soft volcanic terrains.

The town of Ozieri is its most important center for culture and history away from the coast, noted for its production of tools and pottery from ancient times.
