Greater Santo Domingo is a term commonly used referring to the metropolitan area of Santo Domingo de Guzmán in the Dominican Republic.

This may be the Santo Domingo province together with the Distrito Nacional. Before 2001 the Distrito Nacional included the Santo Domingo Province. For administrative and urbanization purpose the Santo Domingo province was split from Distrito Nacional which was made much smaller than before being enclosed by the Santo Domingo province and the Caribbean Sea (south coast).[1]

This metropolitan area also could include several more municipalities.

  • Greater Santo Domingo:
  1. Santo Domingo province
  2. Distrito Nacional
  • Greater Santo Domingo Area:
  1. Santo Domingo province
  2. Distrito Nacional
  3. Bajos de Haina
  4. San Cristobal
  5. Boca Chica

It should be known that even though this term can be applied to the Santo Domigo urban area it is not an official name and is not used by the government of this area as an official term for tbis region, but frequently used by the media to imply the metro region as a whole.
