1840 CE to 1851 CE

The administrative system imposed by the Turks in Libya is typical of that found elsewhere in the Ottoman Empire.

Tripolitania, as all three historic regions are collectively designated, has become a Turkish vilayet (province) under a wali (governor general) appointed by the sultan.

The province is composed of four sanjaks (subprovinces), each administered by a mutasarrif (lieutenant governor) responsible to the governor general.

These subprovinces were each divided into about fifteen districts.
