Erbil Governorate, written Arbil in the Statoids tables and called Hewlêr in Kurdish, is one of the governorates of Iraq and one of the provinces of the Kurdish Autonomous Region, and its capital is the city of Arbil. Older English sources call the area Arbela, and other spellings in use are Erbil and Irbil. In the mid-twentieth century it was a liwa with an area of 15,315 square kilometres, and about 1970 its status changed to that of a muhafazah, or governorate. The 1997 census counted 1,095,992 people, and the census of 25 November 2024 counted 2,517,534. The Statoids table gives the present area as 14,471 square kilometres.
