Sabaragamuwa Province

The Sabaragamuwa Province (Sinhala: සබරගමුව පළාත, romanized: Sabaragamuwa Paḷāta, Tamil: சபரகமுவ மாகாணம், romanized: Sabaragamuva Mākāṇam) is one of the nine provinces of Sri Lanka.

The provinces of Sri Lanka were created by the British in the 19th century, but did not have any legal status until 1987 when the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka established provincial councils.

[5][6] The province is named after its former indigenous inhabitants, namely the Sabara, an Indic term for hunter-gatherer tribes, a term seldom used in ancient Sri Lanka.

The Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka is located in the town of Belihuloya, and was founded in 1991.
