Its capital was Settat.
The region, known for its agriculture (grain and sheep), was split after 2015: the province of Khouribga went to Béni Mellal-Khénifra, and the provinces of Benslimane, Berrechid, and Settat went to Casablanca-Settat.
The name "Chaouia" refers to "land of the shepherds."
The region has a rich history of Arab and Berber influences and experienced a strong uprising against the French in 1907.
