The current division of Catalonia into comarques originates in an order of the semi-autonomous Catalan government under the Spanish Republic in 1936 . It was superseded after the 1939 victory of Francisco Franco 's forces in the Spanish Civil War , but restored in 1987 by the re-established Generalitat de Catalunya, with minor revisions in 1988 (adding Pla De L'Estany , Pla D'Urgell and Alta Ribagorça ) and 1990 , when some borders were adjusted. As Of 2004 there is discussion of possibly further subdividing some of the comarques. {Link without Title} See also lists of Municipalities for the Catalan Province s of Barcelona , Girona , Lleida , Tarragona . THE ARTICLES IN NAMING Because the Catalan Language has a relatively complex set of rules for the form of the definite article, and because (in Catalan) the names of comarques (except for Osona ) typically take the definite article in any position except as the subject of a sentence, the following list indicates the appropriate form of the definite article for each comarca. Because Val D'Aran is an Aranese -speaking area, it is often written as "era Val d'Aran", using the Aranese definite article. LIST OF COMARQUES HISTORICAL COMARQUES There are some other comarques which are often referred as ''historical comarques of Catalonia'', because their present territory was part of the former Principality Of Catalonia , but they are not currently within the Autonomous Community Of Catalonia . ADMINISTRATION AND GOVERNMENT In the Autonomous Community Of Catalonia and Aragon , but not in Northern Catalonia , the comarca exists as a local government area, and has a representative Consell Comarcal (comarcal council).
