Districts of Seychelles


Seychelles is divided into 26 districts. All but one are located on the Inner Islands; the Outer Islands make up the most recent district. Eight of the districts make up Greater Victoria, 14 are located in the rural part of the main island of Mahé, two on Praslin, and one on La Digue.
The capital city of Victoria consists of the districts English River, Saint Louis and Mont Fleuri.
Between 1991 and 1993, the originally 23 districts were local government units with elected councils. Since then, they have been governed by government-appointed administrators.
In 1998, two new districts, Roche Caiman and Les Mamelles were created mostly from reclaimed land and from parts of Plaisance.
In 2012, another new land reclamation took place, and Eve Island and Rev Island were created near the capital Victoria and Bay St. Anne in Praslin, making the area 459 km2. Also, the Outer Islands were given a status of a district by the ministry of tourism.
