Talca Province (Spanish: Provincia de Talca) is one of four provinces of the central Chilean region of Maule (VII). Its capital is the city of Talca.
Administration
[edit]As a province, Talca is a second-level administrative division of Chile, governed by the regional delegate of Maule Region who is appointed by the president.
Communes
[edit]The province comprises ten communes, each governed by a municipality consisting of an alcalde and municipal council.
Geography
[edit]To the east the Andean slopes cover a considerable part of its territory, and in the west another large area is covered by the Chilean Coast Range. Between these is the central valley of Chile. The mountainous parts are well wooded, and the intermediate plain, which is rolling and slopes gently to the south, is fertile.[4]
Demography

Between the 1992 and 2002 censuses, the population grew by 12.4% (39,015 persons).[1]
