On January 1, 2011, the province was divided into two new provinces, Artemisa and Mayabeque. La Habana Province had 711,066 people in the 2002 census. The largest city was Artemisa (81,209), as the much larger city of Havana was structured in a different province, Ciudad de La Habana Province.

La Habana Province bordered Pinar del Río, and Matanzas. It had coasts in the south and north and had dozens of towns and a few small cities which rank between the 20 and 40 largest of the island.

Much of the province's agriculture was geared towards the production of food, primarily cattle, potatoes and fruit. Unlike much of Cuba, sugar and tobacco played only a small role in the province's economy. There was also much industrialization in the province, with numerous electricity plants and sugar mills.
