The 'Littoral Province' is a province of Cameroon. Its capital is Douala. As of 2004, its population was 2,202,340.^[1]
The province is divided into six divisions or ''préfectures''; these are in turn broken down into subdivisions. Presidentially appointed senior divisional officers (''prefets'') and subdivisional officers ''sous-prefets'') govern each respectively. Traditional leaders, usually referred to as ''chiefs'' in English, often preside over particular ethnic groups or villages; nevertheless, many of these wield very little power today, the chiefs' compounds serving as little more than tourist attractions.
