In 2015, Équateur District was merged with the city of Mbandaka to form the new, smaller third Équateur Province.
Former province
The Équateur District's distinct area was originally known as Cuvette-Centrale province, having separated from the first Équateur province in 1962. Léon Engulu served as the only president (later, governor) of Cuvette-Centrale from 1962–1966.
In 1966 Cuvette-Centrale province and first Équateur province were reincorporated into the second Équateur Province by the Mobutu regime.

gollark: I mean, you're obviously sticking to rules like "writing English" to some extent so you can actually communicate with us.
gollark: You "can" break rules quite frequently. That doesn't mean it's sensible to.
gollark: Probably not people who violate ALL rules, but ones who violate *some subset* of them in interesting ways.
gollark: If you go out of your way to do exactly the opposite of what "rules" say, they have as much control over you as they do on someone who does exactly what the rules *do* say.
