Anglo-Egyptian , Darfur , Equatoria , Kassala , Khartoum , Kurdufan , Northern , and Upper Nile . In 1948 Bahr Al Ghazal split from Equatoria.

There were numerous new provinces created on 1 July 1973 . North and South Darfur were created from Darfur, while Kurdufan divided into North and South Kurdufan . Al Jazirah and White Nile were split off from Blue Nile. River Nile split off from Northern. Red Sea was split off from Kassala.

A further fracturing of provinces occurred in 1976 . Lakes split from Bahr al Ghazal, and Jonglei split off from Upper Nile. Equatoria divided into East and West Equatoria . There were thus eighteen provinces. In 1991 , the government reorganized the administrative regions into nine federal states, matching the nine provinces that had existed from 1948 to 1973 . On 14 February 1994 , the government reorganized yet again, creating twenty-six ''wilayat'' (states). The majority of the wilayat were either the old provinces or administrative subregions of a province. As part of the new government structure in South Sudan in 2005, Bahr al Jabal was renamed Central Equatoria .
