The capital of the province was Nelson. The province itself was much larger than present-day Nelson City, which is a unitary authority. The province included all of the present-day Tasman Region and the northern part of the present-day West Coast Region, including Westport and Cobden. Marlborough Province split from Nelson Province in October 1859.
