Its capital is Arlon. It has a surface area of 4443 km² and is divided into five administrative districts (arrondissements in French) which contain 44 municipalities. The province also covers two regions (of Wallonia, one of the three actual official regions of Belgium) : the Ardennes on the north part and the Gaume on the south part.

The province was detached from the Duchy of Luxembourg in 1839, after a treaty was signed with the Netherlands, giving Belgium independence and the province of Luxembourg.
