Which capitals differ from their province’s name?

Sixteen provinces’ capitals have names of their own, such as Duarte’s San Francisco de Macorís, Espaillat’s Moca, La Altagracia’s Higüey, Valverde’s Mao and Monseñor Nouel’s Bonao; the National District is Santo Domingo. The other 15 share their province’s name.

Why are there two Santo Domingos?

The National District is the capital city, named once beside its ringed dot; Santo Domingo province, around it, has Santo Domingo Este as its capital.

Is there a worksheet version?

Yes — choose the numbered style: the provinces are numbered and pupils write each name and capital, with the answers on page two.

Do the small ones get names?

Yes. Where there is no room inside, the name is set outside with a thin line to it, so none is left off; A3 paper gives them more room.

Which capitals share their province’s name?

Fifteen: Monte Cristi, Puerto Plata, Dajabón, Samaná, La Vega, Monte Plata, El Seibo, Azua, San José de Ocoa, San Cristóbal, San Pedro de Macorís, Hato Mayor, La Romana, Pedernales and Barahona. The map names each twice, once on the province and once by its dot.

Is anything uploaded?

Dominican Republic: the 17 capitals that are not named like their province

A family planning a month with relatives in Santiago, Higüey and Baní prints this page’s map on A4: one landscape sheet, the 31 provinces and the National District named, a dot and a name at every capital, 63 labels in all. Santo Domingo is ringed and printed under “National District”, its one label.

The other 15 share their province’s name (Azua, Barahona, La Vega, Puerto Plata, Samaná…), so each is printed twice: on the province and by its dot.
On A4 and Letter two labels sit outside on thin lines: the National District with Santo Domingo, and Salcedo, Hermanas Mirabal’s capital. On A3 only the National District does.
For a quiz, “Numbered, to write the names and capitals (worksheet + answers)”: 32 numbers from 1 Monte Cristi to 32 Barahona, the dots kept, and an answers page.

dominican-republic-map.pdf, one page to plan on. The table holds the usual slips: Santiago’s capital is Santiago de los Caballeros, Santo Domingo province’s is Santo Domingo Este, and La Altagracia’s is Higüey.

How it works

The map names each division and marks its capital with a dot and its name.
Choose the paper — A3 leaves more room for the names — or the blank style for a quiz.
Press Make PDF and print; the lines are vector, so they stay sharp at any size.
